John Woolrich's Songbook project provided the vocal material on show at the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group recital at Wigmore Hall, featuring sopranos Gillian Keith and Rebecca von Lipinski.

And they were true to his word; the singers performed from all parts of the intimate Hall Two and created an immersive, involved listening experience.
