The 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams on 15 October 1872 has already been marked this year by countless performances of both much-loved works and lesser-known rarities, with many more on the way through the autumn and into 2023.
On his death, the composer's widow Ursula founded the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust (VWCT) to promote ‘the education of the public in the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the life and works of the late Ralph Vaughan Williams and of other British composers’. The Trust has supported many of this year's anniversary events, and it has also commissioned the Music Teachers’ Association (MTA) to produce a set of resources for the teaching of various aspects of RVW's work, from Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to Key Stage 5. These are available free of charge to all schools and to organisations running music education projects.
