Join Alicia and me for a lunchtime recital featuring romantic arias and a selection of Wagner's Wesendonck lieder. Join us for this free lunchtime concert in south London. Yes, it’s on Halloween lunchtime!

The programme will feature gorgeous Romantic arias including Dvořák’s Song to the moon, plus songs from Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder.

We'll take a turn into the world of German Lieder as well. A young nun braves a ferocious storm in Schubert’s Die junge Nonne – as her heart rages with fiery, forbidden love.

I’ll play a couple of much-loved solos too: Chopin’s ‘Raindrop’ Prelude and Liszt’s Liebestraum no. 3.

Free entry, donations to the church are probably appreciated!
