New Work for Leeds Lieder Festival

Posted on

Hannah has been commissioned by Leeds Lieder Festival to write a new piece for its 10th Anniversary. ‘Rosalind', for Soprano Carolyn Sampson, Baritone Roderick Williams, and Pianist Joseph Middleton will have its premiere at University of Leeds, School of Music on 19 April. Setting poems by Sabrina Mahfouz, originally written for James Cousins Company, the collection of five songs are an intimate exploration of a most dynamic Shakespeare character. Hannah will discuss the work in more detail in a pre-concert discussion.

Please note that this performance has been rescheduled for the 2021 Festival due to COVID-19.
