26. Ashley Riches, Anna Tilbrook: Vaughan Williams: Perspectives 2

This event will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 - doors will close ten minutes before the start of the event (12:50pm)

Change of artist: unfortunately William Thomas has withdrawn from this concert. We are delighted that acclaimed baritone Ashley Riches, a former BBC New Generation Artist, is able to step in. The programme remains unchanged. 

The centrepiece of any celebration of the songs of Vaughan Williams has to be his Songs of Travel. These settings of Robert Louis Stevenson have been immensely popular ever since they were first heard in 1904. Ashley Riches also includes ‘The Sky Above the Roof’, a setting of Paul Verlaine, and songs by Fauré, that call to mind Vaughan Williams’ studies in France and the importance of French music to his development as a composer.
