Mark Padmore and Roderick Williams are universally acclaimed for their extraordinary gifts as storytellers and word painters. Joining them are celebrated actor, Rory Kinnear, and the doyen of British song pianists, Julius Drake, in a programme vivid in its emotional power. Uncompromising and volatile, the sea has inspired countless poets and musicians over the centuries and tonight’s programme includes words and music that celebrate the oceans that cover more than two thirds of our planet.

This recital is preceded by the Festival Welcome Party and Pre-concert talk starting at 6.15pm (Recital Room, Leeds College of Music), in which Joseph Middleton and Roderick Williams invite you to join them as they discuss how they have curated the 2016 Festival. Tickets for the pre-concert talk are free of charge, but advance booking is essential.
