‘The Chamberfest team unites and expands into a mini orchestra for Strauss’ Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs) and the exquisite Rosenkavalier trio (arranged especially for us by James Ledger). I’ve sung the part of Sophie in this opera on some of the great stages of Europe, but tonight I’ll debut the elegant Marschallin alongside Sophie Rennert as Octavian and Rachel Fenlon as Sophie von Faninal. This will be LUSH.

While intending the closing program to be transportive, it accidentally developed a Viennese flavour. Rachel serenades us with some of Berg’s Early Songs, and Sophie and Jonathan evoke a fantasy world with songs by Gustav Mahler. Quatuor Agate perform one of their signature pieces, Korngold’s Second String Quartet.

This will be a classy, rousing Viennese party to finish the festival, and you’re invited. RSVP today!’
