Brushstrokes & Ballads: Kitty Whately, Simon Lepper & James Mayhew
Kitty Whately, always a Festival favourite, gives a performance of this magical concert for a grownup audience, following a family-friendly version this morning (Event 6). She curates and performs an enchanting programme of fairytale songs, illustrated live by renowned artist James Mayhew. James has created live-illustration events with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Doric String Quartet and many others. He paints live on stage, with his work projected above the performers so that the audience can clearly see each song come magically to life as it unfolds. A range of dramatic poems are heard in settings by composers from Purcell to Sondheim.
