Overview
Following her successes in the Kathleen Ferrier Awards and the Royal Over-Seas League Competition, the British mezzo has won ever greater prominence on the operatic stage and concert platform. Her programme draws attention to Vaughan Williams’s pupils and also includes his own major cycle (1903) setting poems by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
