Contemporary French and British art and music combine.

In collaboration with Ikon Gallery, we’re further exploring visual elements within the concert hall. FRIENDS IN LOVE AND WAR is an exhibition which looks at the theme of friendship through France and Britain. This concert responds to the theme through a programme of exploratory French and British pieces, including a world premiere by French-born, London-based composer and soprano Héloïse Werner.
