About

In 1914 Thomas Hardy wrote of ‘our  indifferent century’; a generation later W.H. Auden urgently sought to fuse the political with the creative.

Today, profoundly unsettled by the turn of the world’s politics, three artists respond with a programme that explores the changes and challenges we face presently,  but one that also offers hope, levity an even a degree of irreverence, and never loses sight of the joy and beauty of nature.

Hardy and Auden found their perfect  musical counterparts in the songwriting of Finzi and Britten; in our own times William Marsey and Joanna Ward add their own musical voices of political urgency and wistful yearning.
