This concert took place in the splendid setting of the Ballroom at Herstmonceux Castle. We were very grateful to Bader College and the musicians in residence for inviting us to use this lovely venue.

In the first half of the programme Ben performed Schumann’s wonderful song-cycle Dichterliebe (A Poet’s Love). After interval refreshments, Noa sung a group of songs by the Spanish composer Joaquín Turina and some well known Italian arias. We rounded it off with some mother and son duets.

This concert was the first event to promote Music Box Wealden, an exciting new venture bringing classical music to venues all over rural East Sussex and strengthening links between local professionals and the community of music lovers.
