Roderick Williams & Roger Vignoles
21 April 2024, 2:30pm - 4:00pm
“People often ask me why I always seem so cheerful” says Roderick Williams, “and I just say, why shouldn’t I be? I’m singing wonderful music!”
With Williams, a recital is more than just a selection of beautifully-sung miniatures. It’s a journey, and today Williams and legendary song pianist Roger Vignoles cross nations and centuries to explore a landscape of the imagination – from the English coastline of Benjamin Britten, to the heights of Schubert’s Austrian alps.
