'The Lark Ascending' to be performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic

Dated 02/03/2010 by J Wood

On the 17th and 18th March this year at 7.30pm (doors close at 7pm), the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, otherwise known as the 'Liverpool Phil', will stage one of Britain's favourite pieces of classical music.

Ralph Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending was written in 1914 and essentially tells the story of lost innocence following the outbreak of the First World War. Performed to an orchestra comprising violin and piano accompaniment, The Lark Ascending is memorable not least for the metaphorical scene in which a skylark disappears into the skies above England. This month's performance by the Liverpool Phil features
Vasily Petrenko (conductor), Jean-Yves Thibaudet (piano) and James Clark (violin).

According to its website, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is the "oldest surviving professional symphony orchestra and the second oldest concert-giving organisation in the UK". Founded in 1840, the Liverpool Phil continues to produce or to host some of the finest orchestral performances and concerts in the country.

Furthermore, with on-site parking available, the Liverpool Phil is a popular attraction for larger groups of people, many of whom will benefit from group discounts on theatre coach hire services. The Lark Ascending is a must-see work for anybody who is interested in the arts or for those who simply want to enjoy a refreshing and refined night out in Liverpool. Private coach hire is available to the Liverpool Phil and surrounding area, whilst tickets for The Lark Ascending range from £11 to £34 (box).
