Ives & Schubert
20 October 2024, 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Today is the 150th birthday of American actuary, composer and musical magpie Charles Ives, whose huge song output provides a whirlwind tour of influences from German Lied to jazz themes and American folk song. To celebrate the occasion, Johannes Held (‘absolutely outstanding – not only for the beauty of his voice, but also for his physical engagement’, Amadeus Online) and Natalie Burch (‘a gifted sound-painter’, Classical Music) pair songs by Ives and Schubert, drawing out thematic and musical connections between these two prodigious song composers.
