Programme
Overview
Discover a captivating hour-long dialogue between East and West as tenor Ian Bostridge and guitarist Xuefei Yang weave four centuries of music into a single programme. From Dowland and Schubert to Argento and Britten’s Songs from the Chinese, experience an intimate exploration of cultural memory and the timeless bond of song.Songs from Our Ancestors invites audiences on a one-hour musical odyssey reflecting the intertwined heritage of tenor Ian Bostridge and guitarist Xuefei Yang.
