Town and county: Sacred and secular choral music of the British Isles
Vaughan Williams, arr. Drayton The Lark Ascending
Vaughan Williams Five Mystical Songs
Elgar Scenes from the Bavarian Highlands
King's Lynn Festival Chorus
Charlie Lovell-Jones Violin
Roderick Williams Baritone
Ella O'Neill Piano
Ben Horden Conductor
The Festival Chorus are joined by internationally acclaimed soloists for a journey through the heart of English romanticism, combining pastoral beauty with profound spiritual and folk-inspired energy. With the serenity of The Lark Ascending, the musical retelling of George Herbert's visionary poetry, and the vivid postcards from Elgar's own alpine holidays, this is a true celebration of lyrical storytelling and choral grandeur.
This concert is very kindly supported by the Vaughan Williams Foundation.
This concert is part of 2026 King’s Lynn Festival.
ANNOUNCING OUR 49th SEASON
2025/2026
We are delighted to announce our 49th Season spanning September 2025 to July 2026, culminating in our appearance in King’s Lynn Festival.
Alongside concerts celebrating music from the British Isles in November and July including music by Parry, Elgar, Wesley, Jonathan Dove, and Vaughan Williams, we are delighted to be working with Music in the Burnhams to present Jenkins’ Cantata Memoria in May 2026 marking the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster. In December, we look forward to our ever-popular Christmas concert with readings and carols for choir and audience with brass — one for all the family!
We hugely look forward to welcoming you to our concerts across another exciting season ahead!
Tickets for July 2026 available from March 2026.
