Join us for the final event in this year’s Crickhowell Music Festival at the Clarence Hall on Monday, 5 May at 3pm with a recital by James Gilchrist, the renowned tenor, accompanied by pianist Anna Tilbrook.

This multifaceted recital explores music’s unique chemistry with transformations of evergreen songs by Dowland and Purcell, reimagined by Tippett, Finzi and Britten. There are also intriguing settings of Dylan Thomas by Rhian Samuel, alongside some classic Schubert and concluding with Beethoven’s glorious song cycle (the world’s first), An die ferne Geliebte, celebrating music’s power to unite us.
