‘Celebrate joy of English music’ by Frank Bridge and Ralph Vaughan Williams at St Mary the Virgin Church in Brancaster concert

A concert will promote an “often-forgotten” composer when it’s held in Brancaster this weekend.

The show is being put on at St Mary the Virgin Church on Saturday, August 24 to “unashamedly promote the often-forgotten compositions of Frank Bridge, an unsung hero in the British music scene, and of his teacher, Ralph Vaughan Williams”.

The music of Frank Bridge (1879–1941), encompasses a wide range of stylistic and aesthetic directions, from the Edwardian romanticism of the early works, through the impressionistic transitional period, roughly 1913–1923, to the dissonant, idiosyncratic modernism of much of the later music.

Vaughan Williams is far more well-known and probably one of his most well-known compositions is his Fantasia of Greensleeves which is on the programme.

The event will celebrate the joy of English music played by three talented British musicians.

This is the first of the evening recitals at Brancaster church starting at 7.30pm.
