Petroc Trelawny and Zeb Soanes

Behold the life and love of Britten and Pears in this performance featuring readings of their letters to each other, paired with choral music from the LGBT+ chamber ensemble The Fourth Choir.

In this newly devised sequence of words and music, the letters are read by the inimitable voices of radio legends Zeb Soanes (Classic FM) and Petroc Trelawny (BBC), interspersed with a programme of choral music by Britten, his contemporaries such as Michael Tippett and Imogen Holst, and his influences from times past including Byrd and Purcell.
