Frome Festival Concert 2026George Butterworth – A Shropshire Lad
Robert Schumann – Piano Concerto – performed by Ezra Herring
Ralph Vaughan Williams – Symphony No 2 (London Symphony)
This concert forms part of the Frome Festival programme and takes place on Sunday 12 July at 7.30pm at Holy Trinity Church, Frome.
The evening opens with George Butterworth’s A Shropshire Lad, a hauntingly beautiful orchestral rhapsody inspired by A. E. Housman’s poetry, full of pastoral warmth and quiet melancholy.
This is followed by Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, one of the great Romantic concertos, performed by soloist Ezra Herring—a work of lyrical intimacy, dramatic flair, and rich dialogue between piano and orchestra.
The programme concludes with Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Symphony No. 2 (A London Symphony), a vivid and atmospheric portrait of the capital, capturing everything from bustling energy to moments of reflective calm.
Together, these works offer an evocative journey through English and Romantic orchestral music in the resonant setting of Holy Trinity Church.
