Songs of Travel

POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19

Unfortunately due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, SoloSeries has been postponed until 2022.
We’re working hard to finalise new dates for all performances. Watch this space!

Inspired by English folk songs and Tudor music, the early 20th century heralded a 'renaissance' of English vocal music. There was perhaps no greater champion of this golden age of English art song than Ralph Vaughan Williams.
