Schumann - Liederkreis Op. 24 & songs by Britten

19 October 2013, 4:30pm - 5:30pm

Benjamin Hulett (tenor) & Sholto Kynoch (piano)

Tenor Benjamin Hulett has an increasingly impressive reputation on the song and opera stages of Europe. He made a great impression at last year’s Festival in songs of Hugo Wolf, and returns this year with Britten’s ecstatic settings of Michelangelo and Schumann’s exquisite Heine Liederkreis.
