Opening Concert: Ian Partridge

This concert is generously supported by The Helena Oldacre Trust

Ian Partidge began his singing career as a chorister at New College at the age of ten. Sixty years later, it is fitting that he should retire from the recital platform back in Oxford, and it is a great honour for the Lieder Festival to host this occasion. Throughout his long and prestigious career, Ian has been especially well-known for interpretations of Schubert, and tonight he will perform a selection of his favourite songs. This is sure to be a wonderful way to open the 2008 Lieder Festival and is not an occasion to miss.
