Sir Bryn Terfel

California Center for the Arts

Grammy and Gramophone Award winner Sir Bryn Terfel performs a distinctive mix of the music for which he is so renowned. The first half of the program includes the sounds of home in traditional Welsh songs and works by 19th- and 20th-century Welsh and British composers. The second half of the program features a particularly beautiful collection of songs by Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Debussy, as well as a heartfelt selection from Les Misérables. Exquisite instrumental interludes put a welcome spotlight on harpist Hannah Stone (recently the Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales) and pianist Annabel Thwaite.
