Afternoon Concert with Georgia Mann.

Another chance to hear the 91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Martyn Brabbins with soloists Francesca Chiejina and Ashley Riches, and violinist Tai Murray. As well as being the composer of that Last Night favourite, Jerusalem, Hubert Parry (died 1918) was in many ways the father of contemporary English music, teaching both Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst. This celebration of his legacy features Parry's own hope-filled Fifth Symphony alongside Vaughan Williams' elegiac The Lark Ascending and two memorials inspired by the First World War: Holst's Ode to Death and Vaughan Williams's Pastoral Symphony.

Presented by Ian Skelly from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
