Mark Padmore has for many years been
internationally regarded not only as one of the most persuasive and
enthralling song recitalists of our times, but also as a commanding
presence on opera stages. The programme he and award-winning pianist and
conductor Jocelyn Freeman have prepared specially for this festival
embraces some of Beethoven and Schubert’s finest songs, centenary tributes
to Fauré and Stanford, a focus on the early 20th-century impressionistic
songs of Rebecca Clarke, and Britten’s entrancing ‘Winter Words’, a cycle
of 8 songs set to poems by Thomas Hardy.

informal Q&A immediately after the concert (free to ticket holders)

superb British tenor Mark Padmore was a revelation; emotionally harrowing
yet vocally beautiful.” Schubert recital review, New York Times
