Have you booked for Thomas Hardy’s poems set to music on July 13th?

Tickets are now selling well, so if you have not yet booked, maybe you should!

To buy tickets for July 13th go here.

Hardys’ poems about his wife Emma after her death inspired a wide range of 20th century composers – and have continued to inspire into the 21st century.

The programme for July 13th will include:

Arthur Keegan’s – Elegies for Emma
Gerald Finzi – Shortening Days and It Never Looks Like Summer
Benjamin Britten – At The Railway Station Upway
Songs by Imogen Holst, Ivor Gurney, Robin Milford, Betty Roe, Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson
A new song by composer Kerry Andrews.

To buy tickets for July 13th go here.

6.30 doors open, 7pm concert, 8.30pm Edwardian supper – hopefully in the garden.
£28 to include buffet supper and wine.
