Vaughan Williams’s ‘Fantasia’ and Symphony No. 9
Andrew Manze leads the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in a program celebrating English music. The concert features Vaughan Williams’s Symphony No. 9, a work reflecting the Wessex landscape and wartime memories, alongside his spiritually resonant Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Dutch violinist Simone Lamsma makes her Proms debut performing Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto. The evening also includes the world premiere of Carmel Smickersgill’s A Brick Thrown with Love, a BBC co-commission exploring themes of resilience.
