A word from our Honorary Patrons: |
 |
"I'm so delighted you've chosen to focus on Ralph Vaughan Williams whose music for me epitomizes a pastoral and gentle England that was very real and not just the yearning of nostalgia. Vaughan Williams's England is no longer easy to find but extremely enriching for young and old alike."
--Benjamin Luxon CBE
|
| The Cornish baritone, Benjamin Luxon has enjoyed a distinguished career in all facets of the vocal arts, appearing in all major opera houses and concert halls throughout the world. Due to his love for English music and English poetry, he has actively promoted the works of English composers
during the whole of his career. |
| "With its formidable array of expert performers and speakers this festival gives an ideal opportunity to get under the skin of this great and often undervalued composer. The combination of off-the-beaten-track works with old favourites looks irresistible."
--Iain Burnside
