Night and Dreams
17 October 2024, 1:15pm - 2:15pm
Today's events are presented in association with BBC Radio 3, in celebration of 25 years of its New Generation Artists scheme.
Elizabeth Watts was a BBC New Generation Artist from 2007 to 2009, and has since become one of the UK’s best-loved sopranos. She is joined by current NGA Michael Pandya, only the second collaborative pianist ever to join the scheme. They have devised a wonderful programme of songs by Schubert (including his entrancing ‘Nacht und Träume’) and Richard Strauss, as well as music by the increasingly admired Czech composer Vítězslava Kaprálová and folk-song arrangements by Britten.
Why not stay for all of today's events, and enjoy a full day of outstanding music for just £75 - saving £11 off the individual ticket prices! Click here to buy a day ticket.
