The London Chorus – Vaughan Williams Five Tudor Portraits – 7.30pm

Join The London Chorus for a rare performance of Vaughan Williams Five Tudor Portraits, 7.30pm 12 March 2026 at Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square.

The London Chorus presents a thrilling programme of the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of the greatest of all British composers and a Chelsea resident for 24 years. His Five Tudor Portraits, masterful settings of the poems of John Skelton, priest and tutor to Henry VIII, are at times bawdy, poignant and witty, and deserve to be heard far more often.

We also hear his popular Five Mystical Songs, settings of the 17th-century poet and priest George Herbert, and his Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1, which conjures up an eloquent aural portrait of the Norfolk landscape and its people through five locally-sourced folk songs.
