37. Alessandro Fisher, William Vann, Navarra Quartet: On Wenlock Edge

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

Our series of concerts celebrating Vaughan Williams, in partnership with BBC Radio 3 and BBC New Generation Artists, draws to a glorious close with a performance of On Wenlock Edge and the world premiere of a new work, Portraits of a Mind, by Ian Venables, described by Musical Opinion as ‘Britain’s greatest living composer of art songs’. 

Commissioned by the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society to mark the 150^th birthday of Vaughan Williams, Portraits of a Mind is a companion piece scored for the same forces – tenor, string quartet and piano – as On Wenlock Edge. Renowned tenor Alessandro Fisher, a former Oxford Lieder Young Artist, performs both works with the Navarra Quartet and pianist William Vann.
