About This Event

Soprano Julie Roset and pianist Susan Manoff will grace The Queen's Hall stage on Thursday 27 August with a captivating programme of French mélodies. Their thoughtfully curated recital spans more than a century of exquisite art song and solo piano repertoire, promising an evening of refined musicality. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant French Belle Époque, the chosen works delve into evocative themes, weaving narratives of dreams, regal figures, and enchanting mythical characters. This performance serves as a deeply passionate and elegantly crafted tribute to the enduring and celebrated tradition of French song, offering an immersive journey into its rich artistic landscape. The duo's artistry is set to deliver a memorable and sophisticated experience for all who attend.

The programme will feature a range of French mélodies, including works by Claude Debussy and Reynaldo Hahn, who were writing at the height of the French Belle Époque. The recital will also showcase music by lesser-known composers, such as Manuel Rosenthal and Mel Bonis, who chose to disguise her gender when her music was eventually published. In addition, contemporary composer Isabelle Aboulker's songs will be performed, with soprano Julie Roset's voice ideally suited to their delicate beauty.

The recital will be performed by soprano Julie Roset and pianist Susan Manoff, who have carefully curated the programme to showcase a century of French art song and solo piano repertoire. Their performance promises to deliver a memorable and sophisticated experience for all who attend.
