The St Marylebone Festival

FRIDAY 22ND JULY
7:30 – 9:15pm (with interval)
Tickets: £10 with a Wine Reception
WAR ON ALL FRONTS
Adam Sullivan, tenor
Jonathan Hyde, baritone
Gavin Roberts, piano
Through a moving selection of songs and readings, this concert commemorates the 100th anniversary of the First World War, most especially The Battle of the Somme whose centenary falls on 1st July 2016. However, the performance aims to pay tribute to those who fought on all sides of the war in Europe, not just those who fought in the allied forces. Songs by English composers such as Ivor Gurney and George Butterworth, will rub shoulders with their European counterparts, Paul Hindemith, Hans Pfitzner, Gabriel Fauré, and Giacomo Puccini. The concert also includes a new song by Philip Lancaster. Adam Sullivan, Jonathan Hyde, and Kevin Phelan are recent graduates of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and are rising-stars in the performing arts profession.
