Our Viking journey reaches a starry conclusion with the appearance of Swedish-born mezzo-soprano Katarina Karnéus, former winner of Cardiff Singer of the World. We are thrilled to welcome Katarina to Beverley to sing Wagner’s stunning Wesendonck Lieder. The symphonic sweep of Brahms’ virtuosic G minor piano quartet ends wildly in gypsy dancing! Bookending these works are two pieces showcasing our wonderful string team: Grieg’s ever-popular Holberg Suite, and Mendelssohn’s glorious Octet, astonishingly composed when he was only sixteen years old.
