Ina Boyle’s catalogue of compositions continues its richly deserved rediscovery. The Irish composer’s reflective songs, lovingly recorded by three of this evening’s performers in 2020, are a special delight. On the anniversary of Boyle's death, they are joined by Ailish Tynan in a programme that places Boyle’s music in company with pieces by her teachers Charles Wood and Ralph Vaughan Williams and her close friend and supporter, Elizabeth Maconchy.

Tickets: £18 (concessions £16)

General sale for this event will open at 10.00am on Tuesday 7 October.
