'A Bigger Splash: Ralph Vaughan Williams and his 'Sea’ Symphony'

An RVW Society event, this talk with Rolf Jordan, will take place prior to the evening’s performance. Refreshments will be served.

Rolf Jordan is an artist and designer based near Liverpool. His art includes a series of portrait busts created in 2000-02, and the solo exhibition of oil paintings and ink drawings entitled 'Inspired by English Music', held in Ludlow during 2007. He is currently engaged in freelance art projects.

Listening to music has always played an important part in his non-musician's life, and he has taken a close interest in British music since discovering the works of Vaughan Williams and 'exploring in all directions from there'. He has enjoyed writing articles for The RVW Society Journal, The Maud Powell Signature, British Music, The Ivor Gurney Society Journal, and was Editor of the Ivor Gurney Society Newsletter from 2002-7. He was editor and designer of the Gerald and Joy Finzi anthology 'The Clock of the Years', and is now editor of the Finzi Journal.

In 2008, he was the recipient of a Finzi Trust Scholarship, and is currently preparing a book on the results of his research. www.rolfjordan.com

Festival runs between 21st to 28th July 2012.
