Overview

At John Gilhooly’s request, Roger Vignoles, an aristocrat among piano accompanists, marks the eve of his 70th birthday with a kaleidoscopic programme built around the theme of music and musicians, and woven together with songs for a summer night.

He is joined by a stellar cast of singers, close colleagues and friends with whom he has collaborated over many years.
