The Ivor Gurney Society in conjunction with The Royal Forest of Dean Herbert Howells Society is presenting Gifted Sons of the Severn at The King's School Gloucester on Saturday 5th November 2011 from 1:00 pm to 5:15 pm.

Three men: a composer, a poet, and a rare genius dually gifted in both arts, shared a close friendship in the years before the First World War, and all three went on to make outstanding contributions to the cultural life of Britain in the twentieth century. These three, Herbert Howells, F.W. Harvey and Ivor Gurney walked and talked together in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside surrounding the River Severn, drawing inspiration from the landscape and from each other - but the War was to change their lives forever. This event will focus on the known early influences on all three men, their relationship and collaborations.

Speakers include Anthony Boden and Kelsey Thornton. Further information is available on the F. W. Harvey Society's website.
