About the event
Shakespeare’s words are a universal inspiration for composers of song. Settings of the bard’s famous poetry span centuries, languages, and styles, undergoing constant reinvention. This recital focuses on English and American settings of Shakespeare from the twentieth century by Benjamin Britten, Michael Tippett, Roger Quilter, Madeleine Dring, Elisabeth Maconchy, Amy Beach, Alison Bauld and Eric Coates, as well as looking back to Tudor and Jacobean England with settings of Henry Purcell arranged by Britten, and an excerpt from his opera, ‘Gloriana’. This music and these texts bring us elation and tragedy, love lost and love found – proving that all the world truly is a stage.
Music by Amy Beach, Benjamin Britten, Eric Coates, Madeleine Dring, Henry Purcell, Roger Quilter et Michael Tippet.
With Jonathan Hanley (tenor) and Gavin Roberts (piano).
