AN ENGLISH CHORAL GARLAND

St Lawrence Parish Church, York
​
Concert at 7.30pm- c.9.30pm
Pre-concert talk at 6.30pm by Professor Gillian Parker: ‘Music in the garden’
​

Join us for a captivating concert woven with themes of nature, gardens and transcendent landscapes. At its heart, lays a unique arrangement of Vaughan Williams' soaring, timeless The Lark Ascending, reimagined for choir and solo violin. Our programme also includes Moeran’s vibrant Songs of Springtime and Pearsall's haunting Lay a Garland. We'll also explore the mythological world of Britten’s Hymn to St. Cecilia, Finzi’s rich evocation of pastoral sacrifice Lo, the Full Final Sacrifice and the heavenly expanse of Harris’s Faire is the Heaven.
