71. Ailish Tynan: Hark, Hark! The Lark
19 October 2021, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
This uplifting programme based on birdsong is full of surprises! The wonderful soprano Ailish Tynan sings songs by Schubert, Grieg, Handel, Judith Weir and others, with pianist Libby Burgess. Between groups of songs, recorder player Ian Wilson, a renowned soloist and chamber musician, punctuates the programme with birdsong quotes and references that echo around the building.
