Alice Coote with Julius Drake

One of the worlds best mezzo soprano with one of the world's finest accompanists come to Ripon for a recital that travels from late 1600s 2000s....

from Handel. Arne, Schubert via Wagner, Schumann, Elgar to Poulenc, Berlin, Bernstein, Bowie and Lennon and many others en route.

NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!

"Could, would, should Alice Coote give a Tina Turner encore at the end of this recital? The magnificantly mercurial Brittish Mezzo had already delivered Joni Mitchell; David Bowie; Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach .... with Jacques Brel and John Lennon to come..... In the end Coote returned to Lennon (and McCartney) for Golden slumbers / Carry that weight."                     Neil Fisher, The Times, May 25 2023.

This is in memory of Brian Kealy, a founder of this society and life long devotee of recitals.
