Bard Music Festival Presents
Program Two • Between Two Worlds: London and Berlin
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Program Two contextualizes Vaughan Williams among his mentors and peers, juxtaposing two of his songs with chamber works by C. Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford, his teachers at London’s Royal College of Music, and by fellow folksong-lover Max Bruch, with whom he began lessons while honeymooning in Berlin. Also featured in this program are Vaughan Williams’s contemporaries Ethel Smyth, Frank Bridge, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, whom Stanford considered his most gifted pupil, and whose music Vaughan Williams would later champion as a conductor.
