Join soprano Talia Nabarro for Progressions of Love: A Recital in Four Movements, accompanied by pianist Stephen Hose.
In a special show as part of our Free Lunchtime Concert series, Talia Nabarro will perform her programme Progressions of Love: A Recital in Four Movements, accompanied by our resident pianist Stephen Hose.
Bringing together opera, art song, traditional song and musical theatre, this recital explores love at different stages of life. The programme is divided into four movements: Early Love, Mature Love, Regret and Loss, and Self-Love/Self-Actualisation. Beginning with the excitement and innocence of first love, it moves through intimacy and deeper connection before turning to longing, heartbreak and reflection. The final movement focuses on independence, self-acceptance and finding fulfilment within oneself.
Many thanks to Markson Pianos who loan their Erard piano to Lauderdale House, for use in our lunchtime concerts and to Riverstone for sponsoring the season.
