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

ASHLEY RICHES BARITONE

JOSEPH MIDDLETON PIANO

Did you know that ladybirds, jellyfish and centipedes migrate?  Here’s a programme that will enlighten us all on the movement of birds, insects and animals of all sorts.  ‘Migration’ is the theme for the exciting opening concert, which will beautifully complement the Royal Albert Memorial Museum’s exhibition theme during this period. 

Royal Opera House baritone, Ashley Riches, joins renowned accompanist Joseph Middleton, in a programme that includes Schubert’s 'Die Forelle', Fauré’s 'Dove', Saint-Saëns’ 'La Coccinelle' and Ravel’s 'Le Cygne'. Together with gems from Samuel Barber and Charles Ives, they are all there in herds and flocks – you might even get a Gnu if you’re lucky!

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