Stunning new windows commemorating the life and work of Ralph Vaughan Williams have been unveiled at All Saints Chuch, Down Ampney.
The glass was created by Tom Denny who spoke movingly during a service on Sunday of how he was inspired by RVW. #RVW150

Here's a little taste of our big summer concert - hundreds of singers from around the world performing a choral (Drayton arrangement) of Ralph Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending, featuring Charles Mutter on violin and vocal solos by Fieri Consort, conducted by Ben England BEM and videography by Marc Siese. Here's the full thing: https://youtu.be/8_goCeCg1sw?t=1866 @classicalmusic #classicalmusic #choir #choralmusic #onlinechoir #digitalchoir #rvw150 #ralphvaughanwilliams #thelarkascending

Very much looking forward to singing in this on Saturday. Vaughan Williams, Kodály - lovely music and a real test for the organist! #RVW150 #visionofaeroplanes #missabrevis allegrisingers.org.uk 🎵 ✈️ 🇬🇧 🇭🇺 😃
