Patron's Concert: Sir Thomas Allen (baritone) & Roger Vignoles (piano)

Part of the Jesus College Visiting Artist Series

Sir Thomas Allen, Oxford Lieder's patron, is one of the world's best-known baritones, and this evening's concert will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the Oxford Lieder Festival to date. Joined by the renowned accompanist Roger Vignoles*, he performs a programme of Fauré, Duparc and Ravel in the wonderful and atmospheric setting of the University Church.

Sir Thomas has appeared on every major opera and concert stage around the globe, and has a far-reaching discograhpy of song and opera alike. French song has been at the core of his repertoire, and tonight's programme includes many of the finest "Mélodies".

Demand for this concert is sure to be extremely high, so early booking is advised.

* Roger Vignoles is the 2008/ 9 Jesus College Visiting Artist. Supported by Jesus College and the Kohn Foundation, Roger will return twice more over the next twelve months, and will also give several public masterclasses. The next concert will be on Friday 7th November with tenor Mark Padmore. Tickets for this concert can also be booked now.
