Ruby Hughes. Manchester Collective End of My Days

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 17:00
Aula der Alten Universität Heidelberg (Heidelberg)
Ruby Hughes (Soprano), Manchester Collective (Streichquartett)
Soprano Ruby Hughes commented on her program "End of My Days," created with the Manchester Collective during the first COVID-19 lockdown: "Music always has the potential to speak to us, to comfort us, and to help us feel understood." The program's songs by John Dowland, Claude Debussy, Gustav Mahler, and other composers, including contemporary ones, empathetically explore themes of love, loss, and separation. Mahler's "Urlicht" conveys the confidence that we will return to where we came from when we enter eternity. The title song by Errollyn Wallen embraces death and celebrates life.
