Programme Note
Journey into the night, as we share ghost stories and songs of love, loss and dark terrors. Mark Padmore and
Morgan Szymanski unite to perform a spine-tingling selection of songs by Schubert and John Dowland, alongside new settings of poems by Charles Causley and Edward Thomas. Composer Richard Barnard has created the new works in honour of the poets’ centenaries; those of Causley’s birth, and Thomas’ death.
