The vivid, metaphysical poetry of John Donne is an endless source of inspiration to composers. Tonight's recital centres on the world premiere of Things Invisible to See, a new cycle of Donne settings by Michael Berkeley. Commissioned by countertenor Hamish McLaren and performed with pianist Matthew Jorysz, the work explores themes of love, longing and mortality. Soprano Ana Beard Fernández joins them for selected works by Shostakovich and Purcell, in a programme that traces powerful emotional threads across centuries and continents.

Duration: 70 minutes (no interval)
