A restorative evening of 20th- and 21st- century music for mezzo-soprano and piano – designed to soothe the darkest hours.

Mezzo-soprano Marta Fontanals-Simmons and pianist Lana Bode have drawn on their personal experiences of grief, loss and transformation to curate the programme 'Somnia' – a healing journey through dreams.

Song cycles by Frederic Mompou and Ethel Smyth form the backbone of the programme, interspersed with a kaleidoscope of songs and poetry from 20th- and 21st-century composers and writers.

The recital will be followed by an opportunity to mingle with the artists whilst enjoying a glass of prosecco or kombucha.
