Overview

Andrew Watts and his Countertenor Songbook project have fired the imaginations of a wide range of contemporary composers. He brings its latest chapters to Wigmore Hall, complete with Louise Drewett’s ‘Lament’ and the nonagenarian Thea Musgrave’s Virginia Woolf-inspired Orlando's return to London…as a WOMAN.
