Programme Note

FANNY & FELIX: the Mendelssohn siblings

This programme, the final concert in Chamber Music Weymouth's Summer Series, brings together songs and short piano pieces by a renowned brother and sister, born to a remarkable family which was at the heart of the cultural and intellectual life of early 19thC Europe. It is immediately attractive music, full of life, emotion and melody, never outstaying its welcome.

'an engaging, cultivated singer' (Daily Telegraph)

’an immensely satisfying performance....a voyage of delight from end to end.’ (MusicWeb International)
