Programme Note

The thrilling and highly sought-after soprano Lucy Crowe makes a welcome return to the Festival with Anna Tilbrook, for a very seasonal recital celebrating the blustery delights of autumn. This special programme features songs by a wide range of composers, as they respond to the changing seasons and reflect on themes of transience, restlessness and Waldeinsamkeit, or ‘forest solitude’. From Franz Schubert and Fanny Mendelssohn, Gabriel Fauré and Cécile Chaminade, to Benjamin Britten and Amy Beach, this is a treasure-trove of song in the company of two consummate artists.
