Overview
Important in firing the imaginations of those who set up the Ludlow event was the inspiration of Gerald Finzi, whose songs and writings form the nucleus of this final event. This concert draws material from Gerald Finzi's Letters, 1915-1956 a new collection, compiled and edited by Diana McVeagh, of more than 1600 letters from and to Gerald Finzi, spanning the composer’s life from the early 1920s until his untimely death in 1956.
