About this concert

The boundary edges of Wigmore Hall’s Dvorák Plus series and Roger Vignoles ‘Perspectives’ overlap in this revealing programme of creative interconnections, influences and repercussions.

Bernarda Fink’s elegant lyricism and poetic sensibility have hallmarked her concert and recorded performances of Dvorák songs with Roger Vignoles. They join forces here with Czech soprano Martina Janková, recognised among the finest Mozartians of her generation and acclaimed for the charm and grace of her song performances.
