MUSIC lovers are being invited to come to a York school and sing the folk songs that inspired composer Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The heritage singing day in the Georgian Recital Room at Bootham School on Saturday combines a daytime workshop and an evening chamber concert, both featuring Vaughan Williams’ lesser-known folksong arrangements, and pieces influenced by the English folk tradition.
The event has been organised by the historic singing organisation Timeline Songs, in collaboration with the Britain in Song Festival, a three-month York-based festival which aims to open up the world of secular British choral music to everyone.
Tickets to the event are available by phoning 01904 322439, emailing boxoffice@york.ac.uk or going to yorkconcerts.co.uk
