Join us for Saturday Evening's concert celebrating Love.

The programme features a song cycle from the innovator of American art song, the African American composer Adolphus Hailstork's setting of the writings of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King to music. Pioneering female composer Florence Price's ethereal song cycle and Samuel Barber's masterpieces Adagio for Strings and the Cello Sonata will also be featured alongside Jessie Montgomery's Peace, bringing hope and love to round off the Saturday evening musical offering.
