Programme Note

Known for their thoughtful programming, Robin Tritschler and Christopher Glynn offer up a two-half recital that literally irradiates the song platform. Two great English men of theatre, Purcell and Britten, sit shoulder to shoulder and praise the act of singing and of experiencing music to illuminate the human condition. If music be the food of love, play on!
