Romsey Choral Society - A celebration of Ralph Vaughan Williams

Romsey Choral Society

2008 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Romsey Choral Society is pleased to present a concert to celebrate the achievements of this much loved English composer. His popular Five Mystical Songs feature settings of words by the 17th century English poet Thomas Traherne, whilst Toward the Unknown Region and the acclaimed Sea Symphony are based on the work of one of America's most renowned poets, Walt Whitman.

Professional soloists Claire Rutter (soprano) and Stephen Gadd (baritone) and the 80-strong choir will be joined by the Berkshire-based West Forest Sinfonia. The conductor will be Romsey Choral Society's Musical Director, David Truslove.
