Open Singing Day | Vaughan Williams A Sea Symphony

English Arts Chorale Association

Come and enjoy an exhilarating day of singing this great work with the Chorale as the first event of our 40th Anniversary Season celebration with Leslie Olive, Founder and Artistic Director of the English Arts Chorale.
The day will end with an informal performance at 3.30pm, to which friends and family are warmly invited.

Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote A Sea Symphony, his first and longest symphony, between 1903 and 1909, and it was first performed in 1910 at the Leeds Festival, conducted by the composer on his 38th birthday. The text comes from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and the symphony is scored for soprano, baritone, chorus and a large orchestra. The chorus sings in each of the four movements.
