Evening Recital: “A touch of exotic”

Roderick Williams OBE baritone
Andrew West piano

Tickets: £25, £23 (unwaged/disabled)
FREE (U30/students)

Following on from the exoticism heard in today’s lunchtime concert and subsequently explored in our afternoon study event, tonight’s recital culminates in a heady mix of well-known, and hidden gems brought together under the banner “A touch of exotic”. Schubert and Wolf rub shoulders with Sally Beamish, a past featured composer at Leeds Lieder. Roderick Williams and Andrew West have a special rapport and way of introducing song to audiences and this promises to be a highlight of the festival.
