For the first time ever, the Philharmonia Orchestra and Dame Sarah Connolly will be performing in the iconic Dry Berth of Cutty Sark.
The concert focuses on the sea, with turbulent and tranquil pieces reflecting its nature by composers including Ralph Vaughan Williams and Grace Williams.
It also features Elgar’s Sea Pictures for singer and orchestra. The text for the first of these five songs, The Swimmer, was published in 1870 - the same year as the Cutty Sark embarked on her maiden voyage. The last of her kind, Cutty Sark is an iconic record-breaking tea clipper.
The ship is the gateway to ‘Maritime Greenwich’, sharing tales of adventure, global trade and speed at sea. Cutty Sark was placed in Greenwich as a memorial to the Merchant Navy, particularly those who lost their lives in the two world wars.
