Madeleine Dring Celebration Concert

22 October 2023 at 18:30

Confiding in her diary in 1935, twelve-year-old Madeleine Dring confessed that she ‘had wonderful ideas for a piece of music. Perhaps when I am advanced I shall be able to orchestrate it.’ This, her first ever diary entry, proved prophetic. Composer, actress, singer, and pianist Madeleine Dring (1923-77) was a multi-talented musician with a multifaceted career. A student of Ralph Vaughan Williams, she composed cabaret songs that she performed herself, wrote incidental music for the BBC and a significant body of chamber and piano works.

This concert offers an exciting opportunity to explore Dring’s music and life, performed by a distinguished group of performers led by Nicholas Daniel OBE and Antonio Oyarzabal.
