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 works by Handel, English folk songs and Pepusch’s lovely spring cantata Fragrant Flora. Tickets include a pre-concert glass of wine and guests are invited to join the performers in the Club’s private bar after the performance.
