Performers

Roderick Williams	Baritone
Christopher Glynn	Piano

In An English Song Winterreise, acclaimed baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Christopher Glynn reimagine Schubert’s classic song cycle through the prism of English music and poetry. Traversing landscapes of love, loss, and renewal, the programme journeys from Vaughan Williams and Finzi to Britten, Judith Weir, and contemporary voices such as Errollyn Wallen. Alongside familiar settings of Houseman, Hardy, and Shakespeare, lesser-heard songs by Ina Boyle, Elizabeth Maconchy, and Doreen Carwithen expand the narrative of English song. Thoughtful, deeply expressive, and beautifully curated, this “Winterreise in English” offers a moving meditation on journeying, memory, and belonging.
