A Leeds Songbook and a showcase performance: Leeds Lieder Young Artists 2024
[…] Composers & Poets Forum Showcase at Leeds Minster on 17 April featured ten new songs by student composers collaborating with local poets to create ten further contributions to A Leeds Songbook. Each song was written for the Young Artist duo that performed it. Before each song, the poet read their words to give us more of an idea of content.City Turned Into a Song by Jan Pospisil (music) and Nigel Karl Stone (words), performed by Anton Kirchhoff (baritone) and Jou-an Chen (piano), was lyrical and tonal, beginning unaccompanied with Kirchhoff showing a fine lyric baritone.
