About this event

More English music at Cadogan Hall as Robin Tritschler sings Peter Warlock鈥檚 wistful 1922 setting of poetry by W. B. Yeats, The Curlew, with the London Conchord Ensemble.

Written when she was still a student, Imogen Holst鈥檚 nostalgic 1928 Phantasy Quartet could almost be mistaken for a work by her teacher, Vaughan Williams. Poulenc鈥檚 neo-Classical Sextet for wind and piano dates from the following decade and was premiered in Paris in 1940. Another modern take on a much older style of music comes in Thomas Ad猫s鈥檚 richly coloured arrangement of Fran莽ois Couperin鈥檚 Les baricades mist茅rieuses.
