Ruby Hughes • Tamsin Waley-Cohen • Huw Watkins

Three of Britain’s leading musicians come together for this evening’s special concert on the theme of Homecoming, culminating in an arrangement of Schubert’s sublime masterpiece Shepherd on the Rock and Vaughan Williams beautiful The Lark Ascending, which has enjoyed enduring popularity in English repertoire.
