Songs for a Summer's Evening

Come join us for a delightful evening of English song at St Mary's Church, Merton Park. Composers to include Quilter and Britten, popular folksongs and lighter numbers by Flanders & Swann.

Following the success of their first album, Schubert Lieder: Love's Lasting Power, with Delphian Records, Harriet and Ian are delighted to be recording an album of English song in November 2024. With thanks to St Mary's, they are very grateful to have the chance to arrange this concert in order to fundraise for their next album.

There will be a 15 minute interval where you can buy a drink from the bar (cash only)

Tickets costs £15, and under 18s can attend for free.

We hope to see you there!

“There’s little doubt of the strength of this partnership or the excellence of their music-making” Gramophone Magazine, Schubert Lieder: Love's Lasting Power

"Harriet Burns's voice is brilliant and rich, comfortable even in stratospheric heights. She completely inhabits each character or scenario she depicts, her emotional range spanning deepest tragedy to naïve girlishness. Ian Tindale matches her colour, adds layers of expression by teasing out inner voices, and grounds the sound with a rich bass." BBC Music Magazine, Schubert Lieder: Love's Lasting Power
