Inspired by the oldest love poem in the world, discovered beside a harp in the tombs of Mesopotamia, award-winning vocalist Simone Craddock unites with acclaimed harpist Michelle Smith to explore the most romantic love songs of the ages. By candlelight, they unearth iconic love stories from ancient civilisations, Greek mythology, literature and modern history.
Blending classical and contemporary influences with mid-century jazz, Simone and Michelle traverse the millennia with mesmerising storytelling and exquisitely arranged love songs. Let the soft glow of candlelight and the timeless harmony of voice and harp rekindle your faith in the enduring power of love!
