Programme
Overview
Celebrate Benjamin Britten’s enduring legacy with an evocative evening of song featuring his Winter Words and A Birthday Hansel. Joined by exquisite settings from Lennox Berkeley and the Boulanger sisters, this concert weaves a rich tapestry of poetic music.Marking the anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s passing, this intimate recital honours one of Britain’s most visionary composers. The programme opens with Winter Words, Britten’s brooding settings of Thomas Hardy’s poetry, followed by the charming Burns-inspired cycle A Birthday Hansel. These cornerstone works are framed by Lennox Berkeley’s refined songs and the luminous chamber pieces of Nadia and Lili Boulanger. In the warm acoustics of the hall, leading artists bring to life the nuanced interplay of poetry and melody, tracing musical threads that connect early 20th-century voices. Experience an evening of poetic reflection and pastoral warmth in a celebration of Britten’s rich artistic heritage.
