Hosted by Todd Graber
Featuring Wendy Bloom

The Ke-nekt’ season begins with an evening of vocal and instrumental works by Benjamin Britten and Francis Poulenc. These two composers kept in touch with their public by performing both solo and chamber music throughout their careers. Meeting for the first time in 1945, they remained good friends until Poulenc’s death in 1963. Both composers refused to believe that traditional tonality could no longer express important truths and their gorgeous sonorities display ample proof.

"...I do think there is room in this world for new music that uses someone else’s chords. ­—Francis Poulenc
