This is the last of a number of events this week presented in partnership with Merton College. Eric McElroy is a doctoral candidate at Merton, and is a prize-winning pianist and widely-performed composer. He is joined by the renowned tenor James Gilchrist to perform his own work: After the Voices: Six Poems of WS Merwin, and the world premiere of a new commission, setting Alice Oswald, the Oxford Professor of Poetry. They also include works by Merton alumnus Lennox Berkeley, and Berkeley’s contemporary Doreen Carwithen, as well as Ireland's Marigold.
This event is a live and live-streamed event.
For live, in-person events, all our seating is unreserved. This means you are guaranteed a seat in your chosen area, but not a specific seat. In order to allow for social distancing, you will be seated as an individual or as a group, based on the number of tickets you booked for this concert. For groups of more than 10, please phone or email the box office to book your tickets.
Live-streamed performances will be available to watch live in our Digital Concert Hall at the advertised performance time and will be available to watch again and on demand until the end of November. A link to the livestream will be sent to the ticketholder via email in advance of the performance. ‘Hybrid’ tickets are also available, valid for both in person and for the Digital Concert Hall, at an additional £3 to the in-person price.
