Lockdown Lieder with Rhonda Browne

St Matthew's Church Northampton

Lockdown Lieder with Rhonda Browne - Saturday 24th October at 4.00pm

St Matthew's, Northampton

After a bit of a hiatus we are pleased announce that we hope to bring high-quality live music back to Northampton. St Matthew’s is very fortunate to have not only the space for social distancing, but two world-class instruments to support singers and instrumentalists. Our first concert, Lockdown Lieder, will take place on Saturday 24th October at 4.00pm. There will be no interval – just an hour of sublime song and piano music for you to enjoy safely. Our soloist will be the international contralto Rhonda Browne. This Kiwi learned to fly 15 years ago, when she headed off to explore her father’s home in the UK. Her first foray on the stage was at age four, when she played a dog in a Noah’s Ark story at her church. She moved on from those lowly beginnings and has been lucky enough to sing in amazing venues including the Royal Opera House, the London Coliseum and Longborough Festival Opera. Rhonda’s beautiful and varied programme includes German Lieder, Herbert Howells’ stunning King David, and even a bit of Flanders &amp; Swann. Rhonda will be accompanied by Justin Miller, who will play delicate piano solos by Brahms and Clara Schumann.
