    Description: Behold, the Sea!

    Guildford Choral will present a sea-themed concert with three works: Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture,  evoking the rolling waves and rugged cliffs of the Scottish coastline; Stanford's Songs of the Fleet, a collection of five songs reflecting different aspects of naval life and the emotions of sailors at sea; and Vaughan Williams' iconic setting to music of Walt Whitman’s poem ‘Leaves of Grass’ - A Sea Symphony, which celebrates the vastness and drama of the ocean.

    Joining Guildford Choral will be the world-class Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and two exceptional artists: Sophie Bevan (Soprano) and Gareth Brynmor John (Baritone). Sophie has won multiple prestigious awards, and Gareth is an acclaimed Welsh baritone and winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Award.
