Dear Visitor,
Hope this finds you well.
Come and join us for this special event that takes a look at the life
and musical journey of a man who in a very short life, was revered by
his contemporaries, sometimes misunderstood by society, but went beyond
the boundaries of his English upbringing to find inspiration and meaning
- leaving a legacy of work, many musicians are honoured to perform
today.
