Lunchtime concert: Piano and Mezzo Soprano - 'Landscapes of the Heart’
About this Event
Kaishun Ypsilantis, collaborative pianist, and mezzo soprano Lucy Gibbs, take us on a musical exploration into the unknown depths of our hearts.
Join us to enjoy this programme of beautiful song. This concert brings together distinctive musical voices from the Romantic era to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, exploring different facets of love, longing, loss and reflection through the intimate relationship between poetry and music.
Featuring works by Jean Sibelius, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Madeleine Dring, Arnold Schoenberg, Francis Poulenc, Joan Trimble, Olivier Messiaen and Jake Heggie, the programme moves across diverse musical landscapes, embracing contrasting moods, poetic imagery and expressive styles.
Spanning different musical languages, cultures and poetic traditions, these works reveal the richness and variety of human expression. Together, they invite listeners on an intimate journey through the landscapes of the heart, where nature, memory, love and the passage of time meet.
Full programme to be confirmed by the artists.
Kaishun and Lucy are both recent graduates with distinction of the Royal College of Music.
St Margaret’s Westminster Abbey is pleased to host this series of lunchtime concerts in partnership with The Royal College of Music, extending St Margaret’s and Westminster Abbey’s support of young musicians.
