Fated Hearts and Faded Echoes; Songs of Love and Loss
"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; all that we deeply love becomes a part of us."
— Helen Keller
Join Jemima in her Masters recital as she explores the themes of love, loss and the inevitability of fate through an exciting programme of Bellini, Berlioz, Strauss, Bizet, Vaughan Williams, Howells and Parry.
Follow her on a journey through a forest at lovers meeting, stand beside Romeo as he fights for his Juliet, weep with Strauss at the loss of a lifelong love and reminisce on the melancholic beauty of all that is left behind. From the ecstatic joy of newfound passion to the quiet devastation of parting, this programme traces the fragile threads that bind love and grief so closely together.
Through moments of aching tenderness, longing and remembrance, Fated Hearts and Faded Echoes invites audiences into a world where love lingers long after the final farewell, and where every ending leaves behind its own echo.
