Evening Recital: Beth Taylor and Julius Drake

Friday 11 April 2025

This event has passed.

Beth Taylor mezzo-soprano
Julius Drake piano

We are sorry to announce that Alice Coote is unable to perform her recital. We are delighted to announce that Beth Taylor has stepped in to give this recital in her place, performing a new programme of works by Mahler, Piaf, Schumann, Ivor Novello, Liza Lehmann, concluding with a performance of Elgar’s Sea Pictures. 

Lauded by The Guardian for her “dark and focused” voice, “sensational coloratura” and “spectacular singing” and by The Times for her “fierce, indeed terrifying, cane-swishing” characterisations, Beth Taylor is one of today’s most electrifying young mezzo-sopranos.
