Our second concert is bought to us by New Arts Opera, for an evening exploring the theme of love.

As one of the performers, we are very lucky to have the outstanding Anglo-Irish soprano Zita Syme, a Britten-Pears Young Artist whose career spans major opera festivals and houses across Europe. Her many concert appearances have included Haydn’s Nelson Mass and recitals at St James’s Piccadilly and the National Portrait Gallery.

This evening will be far more than a recital. Through tender duets and intimate arias, we will trace how composers across centuries have wrestled with love in all its forms: passion and longing, devotion and loss, hope and heartbreak.
