Graham Bier, bass-baritone, and Robin Bier, contralto, present Fairest Isle: Music and Poetry from Britain in Glencairn Museum’s Great Hall in May.
Though the Biers have been heard frequently at Glencairn Museum as co-directors of renowned early-music vocal ensemble Les Canards Chantants, this performance features them as soloists in a recital of the best of English poetry exquisitely set to music by British song composers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Pairings of poet and composer include Robert Louis Stevenson and Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Shakespeare and Gerald Finzi, John Keats and Charles Villiers Stanford, A.E. Housman and George Butterworth, Robert Browning and Arthur Somervell, and W.H. Auden and Elisabeth Lutyens.
Graham and Robin Bier are accompanied by acclaimed Philadelphia pianist Mark Livshits.
Doors open at 7:00pm. $20 General Admission, $15 Basic Members/Seniors/Students, Free for Gold and Patron Members. Advance tickets and Patron members-only reserved seats available until 5pm Thursday, May 9, at the Museum or call 267.502.2990; after May 11, only at the door.
