Miah Persson & Matti Hirvonen

7pm: Pre-concert talk given by Gavin Plumley (free)

Miah Persson is in demand on all the world’s major stages, recently described in the New York Times as having a voice of "alluring bloom, penetrating warmth and allure". She draws our Swedish weekend to an impressive close with a programme of works by two of the great Swedish song composers – Rangström and Nystroem – as well as a selection of songs by their Scandinavian neighbours, Grieg and Sibelius.
