Music
Helen Charlston mezzo-soprano; Sholto Kynoch piano
A nostalgic, raw early music night.
Mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston and pianist Sholto Kynoch present a lunchtime recital exploring the theme of memory and the past. The programme spans centuries, featuring Baroque masterpieces by Bach and Monteverdi alongside 19th-century Lieder by Schumann and Schubert. French works by Ravel, Hahn, and Boulanger are contrasted with Spanish pieces by Federico Mompou and a contemporary work by Anna Semple. Charlston, a winner of the Ferrier Loveday Song Prize, is celebrated for her expressive interpretation and exceptional diction across various musical eras.
