Vaughan Williams & Double Bass

Step into the sweep of a great city and the intimacy of a singular voice. Keith Lockhart leads Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 2, “A London Symphony,” a richly detailed portrait that moves from bustle to reflection to open sky. Double bass virtuoso Xavier Foley takes center stage in his own Soul Bass Concerto, offering a rare chance to hear the instrument’s full range, from deep resonance to agile lyricism. With Chadwick’s “Jubilee” setting the tone, the program pairs American color with British grandeur in music that feels both personal and panoramic.
