In celebration of Vaughan Williams's 150th, Seeking Utopia tells the story of the unlikely friendship between Williams, a stalwart of English classical music, and the violinist Lionel Tertis, son of an impoverished Jewish East End cantor.
Their musical connection transcended religious, cultural and socioeconomic borders, bringing together two very different worlds. The concert will be performed by Shiry Rashkovsky (viola), Viv Mclean (piano) and narrated by Jessica Duchen.
