Ralph Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony (Symphony No. 1) is a massive, four-movement choral symphony composed between 1903 and 1909, first performed in 1910.
It sets texts from Walt Whitman’s poetry to explore the sea as a metaphor for life and eternity. The work is noted for its vivid depictions of the ocean and the existential journey of the human soul.

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.
ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.
The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
