Hundreds of singers across the country are set to join Broomdasher and Coracle in a rousing concert tour of Cathedrals, when they’ll turn folk songs into hymns to celebrate Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th birthday.
From Pub to Pulpit is the only official RVW150 touring event marking the 150th Birthday of one of the nation’s favourite composers. The first Cathedral concert is at Chester on Saturday 17 September and the last at Gloucester in July 2023.
The 20-date tour has been picked as a Highlight of the RVW150 Festival Year by The Times; The Guardian; Gramophone and The Living Tradition Folk magazines.
It features acapella folk group Broomdasher, instrumental trio Coracle – led by Paul Hutchinson of the legendary Belshazzar’s Feast– and the organists and choirs, community choirs and concert audiences at each Cathedral and Minster.
Proceeds from this concert will go to support the charitable work of the Cathedral.
