| Description: |
Eclectic Voices, Nick Cooper, Lily Payne and Adrian Thompson perform a new song cycle based on settings of selection of Keats' poetry composed by Scott Stroman.
Scott composed this song cycle for long-time collaborator, opera tenor Adrian Thompson. Scott has chosen poems including I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill and Ode to a Nightingale. The World Premiere will take place at Keats House, Hampstead, appropriately where some of the poetry was composed.
Stroman has set the music for tenor, clarinet, cello and chamber choir. - a combination which suits the intimate environment of the Nightingale Room.

Choir - Eclectic Voices

Each performance (at 13:00 and 15:00) will be a little under an hour. There is no interval.
