Armistice Day concert of songs and music from the wars by Finzi, Parry, Britten and others, with tenor Daniel Norman and pianist Simon Lepper.
Daniel Norman is performing at St. George's Church on Wednesday 11 November, as part of the Classics@Two series. He's a tenor, and he'll be accompanied on piano by Simon Lepper. It's a mid-week matinee, starting at 2:00 pm, so you'll be out well before tea time.
The programme is built around songs and music from the wars, and it pulls from a long list of composers. There's Finzi, Parry, and Wolf, alongside Britten, Poulenc, Debussy, Faure, Weber, Monnot, Boulanger, Berkeley, Bridge, Gurney and Ireland. It's a wide-ranging set, with the tenor and piano carrying the whole thing.
