vioro.co founding members Simone Easthope, Paull-Anthony Keightley & Thomas Victor Johnson together with Jonathan Ware present WANDERING

We invite you to share in this search for meaning and purpose, finding solace - as humans always have - in nature, in connection with each other, and through music and poetry.

The plight of those forced to flee their homeland is in stark focus today, with unspeakable atrocities taking place through Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We contemplate what it means to be displaced from one’s country and community, and remind ourselves of the many millions of people worldwide who have been displaced, forced to find their place in a foreign land.

Featured in this concert are the sweeping settings by Medtner and Liszt of Goethe’s ‘Wandrers Nachtlied’, one of his most well-known poems, and one that has inspired many composers and painters.

Works by Schubert, Strauss, Grieg and Barber dealing with two of the most powerful sources of peace - nature and love - will complete the programme.
