This fascinating recital sees a pairing of French song with perfumes by Master Perfumer Christian Provenzano. During the course of the concert, the audience will take in four scents from Provenzano’s world-famous Universal Collection, each with a selection of songs carefully chosen by a trio of musicians with a passion for perfume.
Neil Balfour gave a memorable recital earlier this year in our Song at Wolfson series, and has worked closely with Christian Provenzano. He is joined by rising star soprano Freya Holliman, and pianist and conductor Jo Ramadan.
