The Music: Gabriel Fauré’s cycle La bonne Chanson is a radiant masterpiece, by turns profound and exuberant. It is heard alongside a new work by Roxanna Panufnik, co-commissioned with the Presteigne Festival, with words by Jessica Duchen. Roxanna Panufnik’s and Jessica Duchen’s recent collaboration,The Silver Birch, for Garsington Opera, was hailed by Classical Source as a work that ‘embodies the power of music to transform lives’.
The Artists: Mary Bevan is one of today’s most exciting singers, hailed as ‘simply spectacular’, and a former winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Young Artist Award. She is joined by leading pianist Anna Tilbrook, following a memorable recital together at Spring Song 2022.
