Ralph Vaughan Williams’s settings of George Herbert’s poetry are a feast for ear and soul
Baritone Mark Wischkaemper and pianist Eric Mellenbruch present Vaughan Williams’s magnificent cycle of art songs setting texts by seventeenth-century British metaphysical poet George Herbert. From the ethereal ‘Love bade me welcome’ to the stirring ‘The Call’ and the thrilling ‘Antiphon’, this lush and lovely music is a perfect interlude to anyone’s day.
Midday Music, a series of half-hour concerts by distinguished musicians, is St. David’s gift to the community. Afterwards, add a delicious lunch with a skyline view at St. David’s own Café Divine, with several a la carte options. Walk from other downtown destinations; take MetroBus 4, 17, 21, or 22; or park free of charge in St. David’s garage on Trinity between 7th and 8th Streets.
