Classic Lark in the Guild Hall

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra: Andrew Manze

At the heart of a programme, which includes music from Beethoven and Walton is Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, inspired by the poem of the same name by George Meredith.

A spokesman for the RPLO said: “There’s a reason why The Lark Ascending has so often been voted Britain’s favourite piece of classical music.

“Today, 100 years after it was written, on the eve of the Great War, it still speaks deeply to millions.”

Two English Idylls by George Butterworth, Walton’s Façade Suite and Beethoven’s magnificent Symphony No.6 ‘Pastoral’ make up the programme.

The orchestra will be conducted by Andrew Manze, above.
