David Le Page – Celebrating Ralph Vaughan Williams

 

David Le Page & The Le Page Ensemble

We celebrate the 150th anniversary of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams with a special performance from the Le Page Ensemble.

Directed by internationally-renowned violinist David Le Page, who has a long association with English music, this evening of music by Gloucestershire-born Vaughan Williams and his contemporaries features The Lark Ascending, Vaughan Williams’ paean to the skylark and his song.

The programme also pays homage to the composer’s love of English folk music in a set of beautiful arrangements by members of the Le Page Ensemble.

Born on the island of Guernsey, David Le Page began playing the violin at the age of seven. He was offered a place at the Yehudi Menuhin school aged twelve and has since forged a diverse career as a performer, composer, producer and arranger. David appears regularly as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader and has formed his own groups, the Le Page Ensemble, the Harborough Collective, Subway Piranhas and Mysterious Barricades. He is leader of the Stratford-Upon Avon based Orchestra of the Swan.
