Singers and pianists from the Royal Academy of Music’s prestigious Song Circle present an evening celebrating the rich dialogue between Eastern literary traditions and European art song.  Through music by Schubert, Schumann, Wolf and Mahler, the recital explores enduring questions of love, morality, freedom and spirituality.  At its heart is the poetry of the celebrated Persian poet Hafez, whose playful spirit and questioning of convention find new expression through music.  East–West Echoes celebrates the meeting of literary traditions and the extraordinary music that emerges from their dialogue.
