Schumann Genoveve Overture
Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel
Frances Jenkins The Coming of Night
Mendelssohn Symphony No 5, Reformation

The performance begins with the drama of Schumann’s Genoveve Overture, setting the stage for a concert full of passion and intensity. Tara Erraught then takes the spotlight with Vaughan Williams’s song cycle Songs of Travel. Traditionally performed by baritones, Erraught’s rich mezzo tones offers new depth and colour to the piece for a truly unique experience.

Following the interval, Frances Jenkins’s The Coming of Night, based on a poem by the same name, will captivate listeners with its evocative portrayal of twilight and the quiet beauty of dusk. The concert concludes with Mendelssohn’s exhilarating Symphony No 5 Reformation a jubilant finale filled with grandeur and spirit.
