Saturday workshop

An afternoon workshop preceding the evening concert.

The workshop will reflect on the work's recently revealed associations with Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, as well as considering the symphony in the context of Vaughan Williams's late works, together with the complex interpretive issues it raises.

• The Ninth, Before and After - Diana McVeagh (Author of Gerald Finzi: His Life and Music; Elgar the Music Maker)
• Vaughan Williams's Spiritual Quest - David Manning (Editor of Vaughan Williams on Music)
• Hardy's Musical Metaphysics, 'Tess' and the Ninth - Mark Asquith (Author of Thomas Hardy, Metaphysics and Music)
• Neapolitan Saxophones and Demented Cats: Interpreting the Ninth - John Pickard (conductor)

Tickets: for the workshop £10.00 (free to CHOMBEC members)

Concert tickets: £10.00 (£5.00 to Friends of CHOMBEC and Concessions)
