The Lark Ascending – Ensemble 360

The violin soars melodiously above the rest of the quartet in a gorgeous arrangement of Vaughan Williams’ most popular work The Lark Ascending, which concludes this concert of English music for strings and clarinet. Fantasies from the Baroque gems of Purcell’s Three-part Fantasias (arranged for string trio) and Imogen Holst’s Phantasy String Quartet are among the works to sit alongside this perennial favourite.
