Joint Promotion with The Housman Society

JAMES RUTHERFORD baritone and reciter

SIMON LEPPER piano

‘A SHROPSHIRE LAD’ in Poem, Song and Picture
 

A complete performance of Housman’s A Shropshire Lad with James Rutherford’s own choices from the host of settings which have been made of many of the poems, interspersed with readings of those poems for which no settings exist.

Composers featured will include Bax, Moeran, Ireland and Orr. This will be enhanced by the projection of photographs by Gareth Thomas, originally produced for an illustrated edition of the poems.

James Rutherford is now an internationally recognised opera star, and plays Hans Sachs in Die Meistersinger for Vienna State Opera the week after this recital. Simon Lepper is well known to audiences at both Bromsgrove and Tardebigge.

Free pre-concert talk “Verse and Song - the Facets of a Setting” by Valerie Langfield in Housman Hall, Kidderminster Road. Booking essential (01527 874136).
