This special collaboration celebrates music inspired by the South Downs, featuring works by local composers Lucy Flint, Dorry Macaulay, Clive Osgood, Steve Sargent, Peter Thompson and Alessandro Timossi, alongside British classics by Finzi, Holst and Elgar. Exploring themes from love and nature to grief and remembrance, the programme blends spiritual, folk-inspired and richly lyrical works, including premieres written especially for this concert. A powerful celebration of place, creativity and collaboration.
