CELEBRATING VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: FOR THE LOVE OF WORDS


Leith Hill Place, 6pm Saturday, 14 July

Literature that fired the imagination of Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958). With help from his poet/musician sister Rosie, broadcaster, writer and oral historian Andrew Green introduces poetry and prose set to music by the great English composer. This is one of a series of talks exploring the life, times and music of Vaughan Williams and his inspiration from the local Surrey landscape.

Vaughan Williams' works over some 60 years include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces, and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies. He spent part of his life at Leith Hill Place, the family home.
