Red House Recital: English Song | Britten Pears Arts

A delightful programme of songs in the intimate setting of The Red House Library with American tenor David Tayloe and pianist Dylan Perez.

The two artists honed their craft on English song whilst a Britten Pears Young Artist course. At the heart of their programme they present cycles by Finzi and Warlock alongside music by Thomas Adès, Britten, Howells and Grainger.

The recital takes place in The Red House Library, using Britten’s own piano – a special and intimate place to enjoy and appreciate the art of song.

The recital will be followed by an opportunity to mingle with the artists whilst enjoying a glass of prosecco or kombucha.
