WEDNESDAY 16 JUNE
Samuel Sebastian Wesley Study Day
Royal College of Music, Prince Consort Road, London SW7 2BS
Could a 19th century cathedral organist and church composer be a paid-up
member of the Romantic movement? Born in the same year as Chopin and
Schumann, Samuel Sebastian Wesley imbibed the early Romantic idiom of
London's concert halls and theatres, reproducing it in his songs and
piano music and boldly transferring it to the cathedrals in which he
worked. Join us to learn more about his eventful career and to
experience his inspiring music.
Free but tickets required (tickets are not required for the concert of
choral music)
