The festival is delighted to welcome its President, leading British soprano Lucy Crowe OBE, with the brilliant young Fantasia Orchestra, in an evening inspired by the beauty of birdsong. Together they present a ravishing programme of songs, arias and orchestral works including Handel’s As when the dove laments her love, one of Strauss’s Four Last Songs, Mozart’s aria Dove Sono from The Marriage of Figaro and Gershwin’s Summertime. Lucy and the players of Fantasia fly between styles, allowing Berg to perch next to Price, and Vivaldi to soar side-by-side with a world premiere by Blasio Kavuma. Join us for a magical evening in the beautiful surroundings of St George’s Church.

Programme also includes:
Haydn - Symphony No. 83 ‘The Hen’
Sherwin - A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Messiaen - The Lovebird of the Star

This concert lasts approximately one hour and 50 minutes, with an interval.
Tickets are unreserved (premium ticket holders will be at the front of the church) and doors open approximately 30 minutes before the concert starts. Some seats upstairs have a slightly restricted view.
