We are delighted to start the second season of Chamber Music at Clare Hall – INTIMATE ENGAGEMENTS with Roderick Williams and Iain Burnside:

For Romantic poets and composers, the open road held infinite fascination. Roderick Williams and Iain Burnside put on sturdy walking boots and set out with poets Thomas Hardy, A.E. Housman and Robert Louis Stevenson. Composers John Ireland, Gerald Finzi and Vaughan Williams prove a match for the German Lieder tradition obsessed with Das Wandern, while Roderick Williams’ own songs continue the genre, at the same time suggesting that hikers don’t have to leave their sense of humour at home.

Programme : Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Ireland, Roderick Williams and Gerald Finzi

Tickets : £15 * £10 Clare Hall Members * £5 Students
