Distilled: Debussy to the Beatles

Explore a gamut of human emotions from the giddiness of falling in love through the pain of loss and regret to the joy of reconciliation in the company of composers from across the globe.

This programme, performed by a trio of harp, cello and voice, includes pieces from Massenet, Hahn and Brassens from France, as well as the foremost Brazilian artist Villa-Lobos. Belgian-born British composer Poldowski brings a female perspective to proceedings, while The Beatles introduce an unmistakable swinging sixties vibe.

This will be a Relaxed Performance.

Distilled: Gai Paris

Violinist Susannah Simmons and friends from the Orchestra of Opera North visit the streets and salons of Paris.

As they explore the rhythms of France’s iconic capital, the musical styles range from chansons capturing the essence of the city in song, through the toe-tapping rhythms of Jazz Manouche to selected works from classical composers Debussy, Poulenc and Ravel.

Hugo Wolf: Italienisches Liederbuc

Wolf’s evocative settings of Tuscan and Venetian lyrics, brought to life here by three outstanding Lieder interpreters, move from delight in small things to a sense of wonder at the vastness of creation and the all-consuming power of love. All of life is on display.

These songs are by turns witty, pithy, outrageously salacious, and heartfelt. The concert, in association with Leeds Lieder, is the first of a European Tour that will see the trio perform at Wigmore Hall, Vienna Musikverein, Frankfurt Opera, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Barcelona and Cambridge.
