To celebrate re-opening our doors for live performance, we are delighted to welcome two singers already building strong reputations in both recital and opera. Olivia Boen, soprano, was a finalist in our 2019 Singer of the Year competition and Ted Black, tenor, a finalist in the 2020 competition. Spinning around the theme of light piercing darkness, their heart-lifting programme will take us on an imaginative journey through 19th and 20th-century song.

Tickets, £15, from foothart@gmail.com or 07717 570333
