The Lark Ascending: Concerto Grosso Vaughan Williams (+2 More)

A song of beauty from the summer sky, an idyllic evocation of the British countryside. There are many reasons why Vaughan Williams’s captivating The Lark Ascending is one of the country’s most cherished pieces, and violinist and conductor Andrew Manze is an authority on the composer’s music.

Young players from the current SCO Academy join the Orchestra for the powerful energy of Vaughan Williams’s rugged Concerto grosso, while Manze closes the concert with one of the composer’s most visionary works: the radiant Fifth Symphony answered the brutality of the Second World War with music of transcendental calm.

This SCO Academy is delivered in partnership with St Mary’s Music School, City of Edinburgh Council Instrumental Music Service and Glasgow CREATE.
