Keep Calm and Carry On

Tenor Nicholas Phan (“one of the world’s most remarkable singers,” Boston Globe) and the Jasper String Quartet explore the unique sound world of English music. Separated from the mainland by water, England developed its own folk, classical, and popular traditions; a sampling of each will be heard on this stirring program, including British music by Elgar, Vaughan-Williams, Britten, and Canadian composer Vivian Fung.

Program:
VAUGHAN-WILLIAMS On Wenlock Edge
ELGAR Salut d’Amour for Violin and Piano
BRITTEN Three Divertimenti for String Quartet & Selected Songs
REBECCA CLARKE Three Irish Country Songs
VIVIAN FUNG “O” from Lamenting Earth
