Friday 11th October - Ashley Riches, Baritone and Joseph Middleton, Piano

ASHLEY RICHES BARITONE

JOSEPH MIDDLETON PIANO

We are delighted to be opening the nineteenth Two Moors Festival with a world-class recital in Exeter's very own world-class museum, The Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM).  

Royal Opera House star baritone, Ashley Riches, joins renowned accompanist Joseph Middleton, in an inspiring programme that explores the rich treasure trove of songs about animals of all sorts, and includes Schubert’s 'Die Forelle', Britten's 'The Crocodile', Brahms’ 'An die Nachtigall' and Ravel’s 'Le Cygne'. Together with gems from Quilter, Schumann, Vernon Duke and many more, they are all there in herds and flocks!  

"ASHLEY RICHES IS RAPIDLY EMERGING AS ONE OF TODAY'S FINEST YOUNG SINGERS..." Tim Ashley, The Guardian
