Music in the Round’s Singer-in-Residence Roderick Williams returns with a programme of heartrendingly beautiful English song, including Vaughan Williams’ glorious cycle Songs of Travel.

This musical voyage around our island home, performed by Roderick and pianist Christopher Glynn, two of the most charming and gifted musicians the country has produced, also includes a cosmically titled new commission from Freya Waley-Cohen inspired by the Exmoor landscape and its fairy-tale folklore.
