Songs for Our Times
The world premiere of Metropolis, six songs by British composer Bernard Hughes and lyricist Chinwe D John, expressing the hopes and challenges of our rapidly changing world. These songs bring the emotional essence of our shared experience into stark and beautiful view, and capture the pulse of a modern metropolis. This free lunchtime concert also includes music by Francis Poulenc, chosen to complement the songs.
