Noël: Songs of Winter
Songs and tales for the festive season
Offering a serene sanctuary away from the melee of last-minute shopping mezzo-soprano Sophie Rennert will perform winter songs by Schubert and Christmas songs by a range of composers in what promises to be a captivating yet contemplative concert. A graduate of the Vienna University of Music, Sophie has won prizes for her wonderful voice in numerous prestigious competitions.
