      Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)

      Composer of nine masterful symphonies, editor of the English Hymnal, an ambulance driver in WWI and great-nephew to Charles Darwin, Ralph Vaughan Williams was a prolific and intriguing figure at the forefront of English music in the early 20th century. We'll look at his life, listen to his friends perform his music, and hear the music that inspired him. Hosted by Bill McGlaughlin
