Friends' Concert at Penn House
Sunday, 21st March 2027 - 4:00pm
Adriana Festeu is an internationally-renowned mezzo-soprano who has performed all over the world in opera, solo recital and oratorio. She trained at the Royal Academy of Music where she now also teaches, and is a co-founder of Opera Prelude, a charity dedicated to supporting the next generation of artists. Since September, she has also been music lead in our Winds of the World programme.
This special recital brings together songs by Brahms and Dvořák, two Romantic composers whose musical languages were enriched by the traditions of Central Europe. Moving through love, longing and freedom, the programme explores a world of rhythmic vitality, intimate lyricism and theatrical intensity. There will also be a discussion about The Winds project and refreshments.
This performance lasts approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
