The Song Company: Book of Travellers Blackheath

Ensemble Artists Ethan Taylor (tenor) and Hayden Barrington (baritone) spread their vocal wings in this Close-Up program of two works from both ends of art song history – Beethoven’s majestic An die ferne Geliebter (To the distant beloved), the first narrative song cycle, and Gabriel Kahane’s astonishing 2018 work, Book of Travellers, a fusion of classical, jazz, and pop that weaves a musical tapestry of stories collected during the composer’s 6000-mile train journey across the USA. Due to current advice on public gatherings, please contact the host of this event to confirm it is proceeding as planned. Entry Cost Adult $40 Concession $30 Student $20
