Mike Cavanagh & the Purcell Chamber Soloists at Wigmore Hall
March 11, 2027 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
£20
The Purcell School Chamber Soloists, directed by baritone horn virtuoso Mike Cavanagh, present a programme of French chamber music from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Fauré’s lyrical Après un rêve and Gounod’s Ave Maria, set over a Bach prelude, sit alongside the wit and rhythmic energy of Milhaud and Poulenc, both members of Les Six. The programme also features Ibert’s Cinq pièces en trio and music by Louise Farrenc.
