A musical journey into the complex world of human emotions presented by the winner of the 2024 Corneille Competition New Voices in Normandy.

Inspired by the haunting melodies of Henry Purcell and the French court tunes of the 17th century, this evocative programme immerses us in an exploration of love in all its forms, from joyful ecstasy to poignant melancholy.

A delicate conversation between England and France, which connects us with our own emotions, inviting us to let our hearts resonate not only with the beauty of music, but with the richness and depth of experience of the human soul.

Presented in association with Le Poème Harmonique

with thanks to the continued support of Middlethorpe Hall and Spa.
