Described as ‘an evocative and genuine tribute’ (Sunday Business Post), Irish contralto Raphaela Mangan and pianist Niall Kinsella present their programme in celebration of the life of singer Kathleen Ferrier. One of the greatest voices of the 20th-Century, Ferrier’s meteoric rise to fame in the 1940s was cut short by her untimely death in 1953. Reprising their much-acclaimed concert by popular demand on Ferrier’s 110th Birthday, the programme contains music by Handel, Schubert, Elgar, Britten and favourites such as ‘Blow the Wind Southerly’, ‘What is Life to me Without Thee?’ and ‘The Salley Gardens’. This concert also celebrates the 10th Birthday of Irish Songmakers, whose first concert was this day ten years ago.

Rising-star Irish tenor Andrew Gavin and pianist Niall Kinsella perform Franz Schubert’s great song-cycle, Winterreise. One of the composer’s late works, composed in the final year of his life, Winterreise, or Winter Journey, has long captured the imaginations of audiences and performers alike. The cycle is an exploration of the human condition set over twenty-four scenes, which travel the inner journey of the soul, dealing with themes of loss, isolation, rejection, anger and unrequited love.
