Patricia Rozario’s programme demonstrates the diversity and range of her extraordinary talent, from the classical intimacy of Schubert to John Tavener’s “ecstatic and spontaneous reactions to the German poetry” of Frithjof Schuon. Each element of the programme emphasises the close relationship between great poetry and the music it inspires. It also includes a welcome second performance of the Roxana Panufnik song, Winter’s Near, commissioned by Temple Music for the 2008 Temple Festival. Generously supported by Michel Kallipetis QC
