Ralph Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony
Conductor Scott Hanoian leads two works by Ralph Vaughan Williams on Saturday, February 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, presented by the University Musical Society (UMS). Soprano Christine Goerke and baritone Norman Garrett join for the Sea Symphony, built on Walt Whitman's sea poems.
Both pieces by the English composer haven't appeared on a UMS program in more than 50 years, so this is a rare chance to hear them there.
A Sea Symphony draws on the sea poems in Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Scott Hanoian conducts, with Christine Goerke (soprano) and Norman Garrett (baritone) handling the vocal parts. Tickets are available through the ticket link.
