Roderick Williams baritone, Christopher Glynn piano by Various, De (2020/2020), Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Reino Unido

‘People often ask me why I always seem so cheerful,’ says the British baritone and Liverpool Philharmonic Artist in Residence Roderick Williams, ‘and I just say to them, why shouldn’t I be? I’m singing wonderful music’. His passion for English song is the inspiration between this musical exploration of the landscape and language of Thomas Hardy – featuring songs by Britten, Finzi, Bax and more. We are pleased to announce that Gareth Brynmor John (baritone) will also be joining Roderick Williams for this recital as part of the inspirationalMomentum: our future, now project.
