About this Event
Nadine Benjamin MBE returns to SongEasel to conclude our 2026 summer series with a jubilant programme paying homage to the 250th anniversary of American Independence. Expect Spirituals and classics such as Cole Porter and George Gershwin paired with songs by African-American composers, alongside Andre Previn’s Honey & Rue, setting words by Pulitzer Prize winner and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison. This song cycle was described by the Chicago Tribune as moving "across a specifically black, urban, female landscape of experience".
