A programme devised and compiled by Carole Rosen from the correspondence between Frederick Delius and Philip Heseltine
It was in 1911 that Heseltine, a 16-year-old schoolboy, heard the first performance of the Songs of Sunset by Delius at a concert in the Queen's Hall. The work made such a profound impression on him that he wrote to the composer - and so began an extraordinary friendship that was to last until the younger man's tragic death 19 years later.
