Contemporary French and British art and music combine.

Tonight's music is inspired by Ikon Gallery's exhibition FRIENDS IN LOVE AND WAR, 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.

We’re hugely grateful for the generous support provided by Dunard Fund towards our CBSO Explores series.
