Burning Bright: Songs of Love and Longing

bright_de_pres_press

We’re very excited about our upcoming concert, which features beautiful settings of five of William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience by renowned Adelaide composer Peter Webb. The poems explore the ‘two contrary states of the human soul’ and are full of vivid, striking imagery, and Peter’s intricate harmonies complement and enrich the language to perfection. We hope very much that you can join us – please see the flyer on the right for more details.

We will also be recording these works during the week after the concert; a CD of this recording will be available in November and you can reserve your copy when you book if you’d like to listen to us more frequently!

Hope to see you at the concert! You can also join our Facebook group if you’d like notifications of upcoming events.
