About this concert
Britten Sinfonia Voices makes its At Lunch debut in a programme centred on the partsongs of Schubert, a genre that inspired rarely heard works of genius from one of the greatest of all composers for the voice. Baritone and composer Roderick Williams graces the programme with a new work commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall.
