Join the Marsyas Trio, Churchill’s current Artist By-Fellows, and award-winning mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean for a concert that will feature Chansons madécasses - Ravel’s most controversial and experimental work, and the premiere of Ewan Campbell’s Traduit de la nuit, setting poetry by the Malagasy poet Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo.

The event includes a pre-concert talk led by Prof. Charles Forsdick, professor of French and Francophone literature with a specialism in colonial and post-colonial literature, who will help us navigate the complexities of engaging with historic and contemporary music and poetry from Africa and Madagascar.
