The Golden Age of Hollywood
Jennifer Johnston & Julius Drake - Cadogan Hall
Program Info: Jennifer Johnston, mezzo-soprano Julius Drake, piano
A passionate advocate for song and programme curation, Jennifer Johnston unveils The Golden Age of Hollywood with Julius Drake this spring.
This thoughtfully curated evening tells a remarkable story – how European composers, fleeing their homelands during the turbulent 1930s, transformed exile into opportunity, joining their American counterparts during the ‘Age of Hollywood’.
Widely regarded as one of Britain’s most commanding vocal talents, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston has carved out a distinguished career as a consummate interpreter of the monumental works of Mahler, Wagner, Britten, Beethoven, and Elgar, making her the soloist of choice for many of the world’s foremost orchestras and conductors.
