Bradford's Forgotten Composer
Frederic Cliffe was born in Low Moor in 1857. In 1889, the premiere of his Symphony in C Minor was a sensation and launched him as one of the most promising composers of his generation. But, despite further successes, he had disappeared into obscurity long before his death in 1931.
He wrote a number of songs, many of which were popular in homes across Victorian Britain. But they have long-since disappeared and don't appear to have been sung in public for over 100 years.
Join us at St Mary the Virgin, Wyke as we uncover the musical genius of Bradford's long-forgotten composer. You'll hear about Cliffe in the words of his family and colleagues, and also his long-forgotten songs performed by local amateur musicians.
This event promises to be a treat for music enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to celebrate Bradford's cultural legacy!
