From beautiful and delicate to steadfast and timeless, the aromatic to images of rebirth, various flora have been used as metaphors in poetry, art and music for centuries. The recital highlights how different composers have chosen to depict flora in music to create moods, arouse images and express love.

Beautiful and wonderfully varied music is drawn from baroque and modern works including Pepusch’s lovely spring cantata Fragrant Flora.
