This Sceptered Isle: British Song
A celebration of British song from one of its finest exponents. Praised for her “radiant, rapturous, wonderfully nuanced performances” (The Scotsman), Claire Booth performs a selection of her best-loved music, from Britten’s stirring reimagining of Purcell songs to Colin Matthews’ evocative seascape.
Four Last Songs
“A swansong of sublime beauty” (Classic FM), Strauss’s ‘Four Last Songs’ are among the most touchingly beautiful and richly expressive pieces in the classical repertoire.
Henny Penny: A Children’s Opera
Comprising 40 short excerpts from Kafka’s writings, diaries, and letters – often heartfelt and confessional – Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments is a work of sparse, lyrical beauty. Scored for violin and soprano, this wide-ranging work encapsulates the scale of the human experience.
Charlie Chaplin: The Gold Rush Classic Silent Film with Live Music
Charlie Chaplin’s most ambitious and successful silent comedy is presented in a gorgeous restoration with Chaplin’s own Academy Award-nominated score performed live by Ensemble 360 and friends, conducted by George Morton.
