Programme Note
The Saturday morning concert at Ludlow English Song Weekend, a three day celebration of art song in English in the beautiful town of Ludlow in the Shropshire Hills. Book for one of our concerts, or immerse yourself in a weekend of music with discussions, films and masterclasses. For details of the full festival programme visit the Ludlow English Song Weekend website.
In 'A Lovers' Tiff: the wonderful complicated mess of human connection', we take a journey along the bumpy course of true love, with Bethany Horak-Hallett (mezzo) and Dan D’Souza (baritone), featuring a variety of songs from Wolf to Weill. Join a new couple as they experience the heady rush of falling for someone new. Stick with them as they begin to get on each other’s nerves, and the honeymoon period ends. Celebrate when – at last – they find each other once again, and reach for a happy and satisfying ending.
“Bethany and I both really love it when recitals have a narrative running through them, and when Iain [Burnside, Ludlow English Song Weekend Artistic Director] approached us – a married couple – about performing in Ludlow, we thought what better story to tell than one of a couple falling in and out of love? We’d hasten to add that this story is a fictional one, although I’m sure we’ll be able to draw on our own personal experiences as the recital progresses!” Dan D’Souza
“Horak-Hallett is among the best young singers in Britain today” Bachtrack
