New York ensemble book Welshpool concert
Featuring soprano, tenor, baritone and piano, Mirror Visions Ensemble will take its Welshpool audience on an imaginative journey through song, showcasing well-known and often-neglected pieces by composers both familiar and new, set to texts by poets and historical figures that encompass published works, correspondence and other anecdotes.
The group's passion for storytelling has produced thematic concerts on surprising subjects, based on scholarly research and laced with humour leading to the revitalization of song programming.
The theme for this concert is Journeys, which is a hugely varied and surprising journey with settings of texts from writers as varied as Baudelaire and Cole Porter by composers ranging from Haydn to the present day.
The Ensemble has presented its programmes, residencies, and masterclasses both in the USA and abroad at concert halls, schools, libraries, and museums, continuing the ensemble’s commitment to education and its tradition of providing access to the arts.
Across the USA they have appeared at such venues as Carnegie Hall and the Kaufman Music Centre, and at educational institutions including California State University and Yale University among many others.
Museums in France have become a home for MVE, with many performances at the Musée Carnavalet, Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Musée Nissim de Camondo, as well as at the American University of Paris.
Hosted by Welshpool Music Club, the concert will take place at The Methodist Church, on Thursday, March 10, from 7.30pm. Tickets are £12 at the door (students £5).
