Neapolitan Songs
16 October 2026, 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Bryan Benner is a modern-day troubadour and the genius behind The Erlkings, the Schubert-based band who have given many memorable performances at the Festival. We hear him in a new light today: with his long-standing duo partner Václav Fuksa, he performs a programme of enchanting Neapolitan songs. Their performances together have been hailed throughout Europe and this is a perfect part of our day of Italian music.
