A Sea Symphony Tickets

A Sea Symphony presents a focused artist profile built around the enduring marine-inspired work by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This project highlights the interconnected themes of sea, humanity, time, and exploration drawn from Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, brought to life through a four-movement choral-symphony for soprano, baritone, chorus, and a large orchestra. With a performance length of roughly 70 minutes, the piece invites audiences to sail through its evolving textures—from contemplative to expansive, and back to intimate. The work first premiered at the Leeds Festival in 1910 under the baton of Vaughan Williams, marking a landmark in early 20th-century English orchestral-symphonic writing. A Sea Symphony is your gateway to understanding the artistry behind this grand, sea-born narrative and the performers who bring it to life on stage.

Upcoming appearances in 2025 showcase a global tour of Vaughan Williams’s masterpiece. Expect lush orchestration, persistent choral energy, and dramatic contrasts as performers traverse the piece’s four movements. Notable 2025 engagements include appearances with the London Symphony Orchestra at Edinburgh International Festival (Usher Hall, 14 Aug 2025) and the Royal Festival Hall (31 Oct 2025), ChorusOz at the Sydney Opera House (8 Jun 2025), Ely Cathedral with the Philharmonia Orchestra (15 Mar 2025), Sevenoaks Summer Festival at The Stag Theatre (28 Jun 2025), and a Seattle Symphony run at S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium (23–25 Oct 2025).
