2022-23 celebrating the 150th anniversary of the composer
RVW50, the celebrations for Ralph Vaughan Williams’s 150th birthday have launched with the start of a symphonic cycle Toward the Unknown Region presented by the BBC Philharmonic and the Halle over 11 weeks in Manchester.
‘As an artist he deserves a position in our culture of the rank we accord to Shakespeare, Turner, Wren or Dickens.’
Due to unprecedented demand for funding in the 150th anniversary year our grants budget for 2022 has been fully allocated. We will only give grants now in exceptional circumstances.
