Kitty Whately, Anna Tilbrook and James Mayhew
As Kitty Whately sings and Anna Tilbrook plays, acclaimed artist James Mayhew will create a world of colour and imagery live on stage. His illustrations will unfold in real time, projected above the musicians, transforming the music before your eyes and allowing each song to take on a life of its own.
We are delighted to welcome British mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately and pianist Anna Tilbrook to open the Festival with this unique interdisciplinary recital. Featuring a richly varied programme of haunting landscapes, folk traditions and powerful dramatic narratives featured both in established traditional German and English song repertoire as well as music by lesser-known and contemporary composers, the performance brings together music and visual art in an extraordinary shared act of imagination — the audience watching, listening and discovering the work as it happens.
Come and experience the magic of a song not only heard, but seen.
