Ripon Choral Society Autumn Concert 2025
Vaughan Williams: A Sea Symphony
“Behold the sea itself, and on its limitless, heaving breast, the ships”
Ripon Choral Society will begin the season with a piece which ushered in a new era of British 20th-century choral music. Inspired by Walt Whitman’s poetry and with the sea as the central theme, the composer explores humanity’s place in time and space. “For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go.”
Valiant-for-Truth, a poignant meditation taken from Bunyan’s “A Pilgrim’s Progress”
Five Mystical Songs, a setting of poems by George Herbert
John Dunford – conductor: Orchestra D’Amici
Samantha Hay – soprano: Mark Stone – baritone
Tickets can be booked via the Ripon Choral Society website. A limited number will be available on the door.
