Garden Songs — Blooms and Birds
Britten's Five Flower Songs, written in 1950 for the silver wedding anniversary of Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst, the founders of Dartington Hall, anchor a Skylark programme of music about gardens, birdsong and the living world. The Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble, directed by Matthew Guard, takes it from Falmouth to Chestnut Hill, Newburyport and the Mahaiwe in Great Barrington.
