Concert Information
Bart Van Reyn conducts the 91Èȱ¬ Singers in a programme celebrating song cycles of the 20th century.
Poulenc’s emotive Sept Chansons provide the starting point for a choral journey through core works by Eric Whitacre, Benjamin Britten and Frank Martin, alongside Belgian composer Raymond Schroyens' cycle Pentalpha and Stephen Wilkinson’s setting entitled Betjeman’s Bells.
This concert is recorded for future broadcast on 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3.
Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early.
