Rebecca Afonwy-Jones · mezzo
John Frederick Hudson · piano
JAM’s Artistic Director, John Frederick Hudson, joins festival favourite, Rebecca Afonwy-Jones, for a journey down the dimmed corridors of cabaret music — a genre that varies dramatically across countries and eras. This year marks two Kurt Weill anniversaries (125 years since his birth and 75 since his death), so expect music from Weill and Cole Porter alongside Britten’s dazzling Cabaret Songs: Tell Me the Truth About Love, Funeral Blues, Johnny, and Calypso. A treasure trove of hidden gems and timeless classics awaits in this richly evocative programme.
