Escape the winter blues in 2027 with a series of intimate performances by exceptional artists.

Friday 23 July, 7:30pm:
Dimity Shepherd: Opera Closets

Step into much-loved mezzo Dimity Shepherd’s magical imaginary playground where personal style meets costume and transformation begins. A frock opera you won’t want to miss!

Friday 30 July, 7:30pm:
Michael Petruccelli: The Wandering Heart

Award-winning tenor Michael Petruccelli and celebrated pianist Phillipa Safey perform three extraordinary song cycles exploring love, longing, and the search for belonging.

Friday 6 August, 7:30pm:
Jeremy Kleeman and Alex Raineri: Songs of Travel and Small Heads

Jeremy Kleeman and Alex Raineri present an evening of art song in English, built around one of its great cycles: Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel.

Friday 13 August, 7:30pm:
Johanna Allen: The Songs That Got Away

The songs are famous. The man behind them is not. Harold Arlen gave the world Stormy Weather, Get Happy and Somewhere Over the Rainbow, yet his extraordinary life remains largely unrecognised. Acclaimed artist Johanna Allen shines a light on this legendary composer in a compelling musical play featuring his most celebrated standards and showtunes.

Friday 27 August, 7:30pm:
Lucy Maunder: The Space Between the Notes

Stepping away from the characters we’ve come to know her for, leading lady Lucy Maunder shares the songs that have shaped her. Through music and stories, she traces a journey of doubt, discovery and joy, revealing the moments that happen not in the spotlight, but in the spaces between.
