What's On: Summer 2013

Susie SelfSusie Self is "Composer of the Series", with one of her works in each concert. We have commissioned her to write a new song for James Gilchrist and she has chosen Rupert Brooke's The Goddess in the Woods. This follows a theme of the Dymock Poets and poets of the first and second world wars that runs through all three concerts.
