Brigantes Pastoral Landscapes

DEBUSSY Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune
VAUGHAN WILLIAMS The Lark Ascending
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 6 in F, Pastoral

Step into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies, vivid storytelling, nature, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again.

Arriving in 1894, we step into Debussy’s shimmering world of sound and atmosphere. The journey continues with Vaughan Williams’ and Beethoven – each composer inspired by the countryside, birdsong and open landscapes. All captured in their own distinctive way. This concert is part of the Classical Sheffield Festival 2027.
