M1 Elias String Quartet

Caroline MacPhie Soprano
Allan Clayton Tenor
Tom Poster Piano

Ian Venables Remember This (world premiere) 30’
Vaughan Williams On Wenlock Edge 22’
Fauré La Bonne Chanson 21’

These accomplished young artists present a programme that is bound together by themes of fond recollection and love. Ian Venables’ music develops out of the English pastoral tradition of Vaughan Williams, making On Wenlock Edge an ideal pairing, while Fauré’s song-cycle paints a vivid picture of the poems’ depictions of love. Worcestershire-resident Venables will introduce his new piece—a setting of Andrew Motion’s elegy upon the death of the Queen Mother—during the concert
