Event information
Superb and powerful music by Lili Boulanger - the French prodigy, who died so tragically young. Followed by the fiery and technically brilliant Russian violin concerto by Glazunov. The concert concludes with one of the greatest symphonies of the 20th century - Vaughan Williams Symphony No.6.
