The Royal College of Music celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, one of the most important composers ever to study at the RCM, with a rare performance of his choral ‘rhapsody of the sea’, Meg Blane.
Sofi Jeannin conducts the RCM Symphony and Chorus, who also join forces for Poulenc’s Gloria. The programme is framed by two French works on a Spanish theme: Chabrier’s España and Ravel’s hypnotic Boléro.
