"He rises and begins to round / he drops the silver chain of sound..." When The Lark Ascending takes wing, so do our spirits. But that's just one side of the genius of Ralph Vaughan Williams. Andrew Manze has a special connection with this most English of composers; tonight he shares the rollicking fun of The Wasps, the timeless passion of the Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis and, to top it all, Job: a blockbuster of a ballet score that may well change the way you think about English music.

Followed by highlights from last week's RNCM Festival of Brass at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
