Tomorrow is the centenary of the premiere of The Lark Ascending in Shirehampton Public Hall, Bristol. To mark the occasion, (almost) the same concert will be performed and streamed from the same 'village' hall. The violin soloist will be Jennifer Pike, with pianist Helen Reid.
A 'Discovering Music' talk was given yesterday from Kingsweston House, where RVW was staying and completed the work.

I watched when it was first streamed and it was fine, but the camera work was a bit iffy). The talk (23 mins) is here:
