Leo Chadburn Flower Dictionary
This beautiful programme explores the sensory delights of flowers and gardens. Alongside the music of Spanish composers of the late Renaissance, there are the playful Five Flower Songs by Benjamin Britten, a giant of the 20th century and two brand new pieces which receive their first performance: Laura Cannell explores plant lore whilst Leo Chadburn has been inspired by floriography. Set in the glorious surroundings of Christ Church, there should be something new here to whet the appetite of any music-lover.
Please note this concert has no interval.
