A performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ beloved classical music piece The Lark Ascending will take place in the same hall where it was first played to the public 100 years ago.
The concert, which will be streamed for free online, will feature a shortened version of the original 1920 programme at Bristol’s Shirehampton Public Hall.
Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia On Christmas Carols, Bach’s Concerto For Two Violins and Hubert Parry’s Jerusalem will be performed as part of the event.
