Unsung Heroes 2024

Sun 25 Feb

|

Craxton Studios

The composers to be celebrated will still be Geoffrey Bush, Lennox Berkeley and Madeleine Dring, and now there is more time to explore their music, or rifle through your music drawers to see if you have any of their songs lurking there. These three composers all deserve to be sung more than they are

About the event

UNSUNG HEROES

Too many composers of English Song enjoy a brief period of publication and performance  and then fall into obscurity. The AESS ‘Unsung Heroes’ days  aim to re-awaken interest in some who deserve a better hearing.

LENNOX BERKELEY, GEOFFREY BUSH, MADELEINE DRING are our featured composers. 

Members gather to perform some of their songs along with readings about their lives and works.

In an additional short feature, ‘Brief Candles’,  we will hear  the performers’ own favourites, with songs and poems from a wide range of writers whom, they feel  may be unjustly neglected,

Date:  Sunday February 25th  Time:10.30 am - 4.30pm. Coffee will be served on arrival.
