New Paths performers present a free mid-morning concert designed especially for babies and toddlers - and their grown-ups! Enjoy the sounds of different instruments, see them up close, dance to their music, and join the merry mayhem of a New Paths pre-school concert.
For our closing concert we return to Schumann and Brahms, where the New Paths idea began. One of the best-loved song cycles, Dichterliebe, is paired with Brahms' magnificent B major piano trio, in a concert of true greats.
Settings by Haydn, Quilter, Dove, Schubert, Poulenc, and Finzi of Shakespeare texts mark the 400th anniversary of the playwright's death. Interspersed with these songs are Shakespeare readings, and Benjamin Britten's Lachyrmae for viola and piano.
