Gabriel Fauré
21 October 2024, 7:30pm - 9:00pm
It is the centenary year of Gabriel Fauré’s death, and we mark this with a special recital from the pre-eminent French baritone Stéphane Degout (‘a wonderfully patrician singer with a handsome, ringing tone’, The Guardian), who last came to the Festival in 2019 and whose UK appearances are always sell-out occasions. Joined by pianist Simon Lepper, he brings us a luxuriant selection of songs from this master of mélodie, as well as songs by Brahms and Schumann. An unmissable Festival evening.
