Programme Note

A journey in beguiling song from the City of London across the channel to France.  

Acclaimed as one of the most exciting dramatic sopranos of her generation, Rachel Nicholls partners with pianist Michael Dussek to bring an exploration of French and English song to the recital stage through the works of Walton, Duparc, Poulenc, and Debussy, in ‘Invitation to Journey’.

Summer Music in City Churches was founded in 2018, presenting beautiful music to engage, divert and inspire, in ancient and architecturally stunning churches in London's Square Mile. Standing cheek by jowl with City offices, these churches are glorious settings in which to listen and reflect: oases of history, beauty and peace amidst the 24-7 hurly-burly of City life.
