Summary
Zoë Beyers leads the BBC Philharmonic and tenor Guy Cutting at the RNCM in a programme of British works by Britten, Tippett, Byrd, Wallen, Finnis and Coult.
Why it's fantastic
This programme traces a thread of English melody from the meditative choral roots of William Byrd to contemporary pieces inspired by folklore. With a focus on string textures and a cycle of Rimbaud’s poetry, it is an ideal afternoon for those who enjoy music that feels both intimate and expansive.
