Songs from Japan

This unique concert, curated by Dr Amanda Hsieh, presents a selection of extremely beautiful early twentieth-century Japanese art songs, rarely heard in the UK. Music by composers such as Rentarō Taki, Kōsaku Yamada and Tatsunosuke Kishitani will be interwoven with European songs and operatic excerpts, just as they would have been performed in their original context.

Fretwork and Alexander Chance: Orlando Gibbons at 400

Orlando Gibbons, whose refined and deeply expressive works represent the pinnacle of Jacobean music, died on 5th June 1625 at the young age of 41, while travelling to Canterbury with the Chapel Royal to receive Charles I’s bride, Henrietta Maria. His untimely death was mourned across English culture, and we mark the anniversary with the first of two concerts given in Durham in 2025 by legendary viol consort Fretwork.
