Sharon is joined by the distinguished pianist Finghin Collins, a familiar favourite with our audiences, and renowned cellist Robin Michael. Together they present an evocative programme spanning the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras. From the poignant lyricism of Schubert’s Auf dem Strom and Brahms’s deeply expressive songs for voice, cello and piano, to operatic gems by Handel, Gluck and Berlioz, the programme explores themes of love, longing, consolation and remembrance. Instrumental masterpieces by Beethoven and Debussy showcase the rich partnership of cello and piano, while songs by Massenet add further colour and intimacy to an evening of exceptional chamber music.
Followed by Meet the Artist reception. All welcome.
