Oxford Lieder / Song at Wolfson: William Morgan sings Schumann and Duparc

Oxford Lieder is delighted to begin a new series of early-evening song recitals in collaboration with Wolfson College. The series will showcase outstanding singers who are in the early stages of highly successful careers and international stars in the making. Tonight's concert will be given by tenor William Morgan. William is a Harewood Artist at English National Opera, having studied at the Royal College of Music and the National Opera Studio. He is currently working at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He is also a passionate song recitalist. He and Sholto Kynoch perform one of Schumann’s great cycles, his twelve settings of poems by Justinus Kerner: an extraordinary assortment of songs that traverse emotional highs and lows. Alongside this they perform a selection of songs by Henri Duparc, the French composer whose reputation lies entirely on a body of just seventeen songs.
