This event has now passed.

Following the success of A Yiddish Winterreise, Mark Glanville and Alexander Knapp have teamed up again to give us their interpretation of Schubert's other great song cycle with its theme of unrequited love. Once again Glanville has forged a narrative cycle out of songs from the traditional Yiddish repertoire, to replicate the emotional journey of the Schubertian original. Eight of the songs are given in characteristically sensitive but individual arrangements by Knapp entirely in keeping with the spirit of the original melody. The cycle also includes one original composition by Knapp, a setting of Himen ("Anthem") by Abraham Sutzkever in the year of the great poet's death. The humour, tenderness and sheer humanity of a great culture on the eve of its tragic demise are given new life in this cycle, the perfect complement to A Yiddish Winterreise.
