About this concert

Admired equally for his work on the recital stage as for his penetrating portrayal onstage of characters ranging from Don Giovanni to Wozzeck, Simon Keenlyside presents a concert pairing the exquisite songs of Poulenc with a selection of songs by Ireland, Vaughan Williams, Warlock, Butterworth, Finzi and Weill on the themes of soldiers and war.
