This peformance on 28 November 2024 was part of A Celebration of Benjamin Luxon – Live from Wigmore Hall. The great Cornish baritone died in July this year. An all rounder like very few, his career encompassed opera, concert, song, folk song, teaching, directing, tv presenting and narrating. A wonderful group of his contemporaries and leading singers of today will come together to celebrate him through words and music.
