Friday 2 March 2018, 7.30pm
St Matthias Church, Stoke Newington
Soloist Harriet Burns and pianist Krystal Tunnicliffe present a performance of well-known classics and perhaps previously-unheard gems.
Everything from the arias of Bach, Handel and Verdi, to the art songs of Poulenc and Clara Schumann, to music from two of our favourite living composers, Julian Milford and James Lark.
Sung in five different languages, the evening promises something for everyone presented in a friendly and accessible way. All money raised will be donated to St Matthias, in aid of rebuilding the church roof.
Tickets £10 plus £1 booking fee here
Doors and cash bar 7pm, concert 7.30-8.45pm.
