A bold and stirring work that became a symbol of national pride and freedom.
The Lark Ascending – Ralph Vaughan Williams
A moment of stillness and beauty, with the violin soaring high above the orchestra like a bird in flight.

A vivid musical journey following a river through forests, countryside and moonlit nights.
