The London Song Festival is a registered charity number 1120046

 

  The London Song Festival was founded in 2007 by the pianist Nigel Foster. It is dedicated  to promoting the song repertoire, which continues to be under-valued and unappreciated in the world of vocal music that is so inevitably dominated by opera.

The 2009 London Song Festival will be devoted to Lieder, the heart and soul of the song repertoire. The anniversaries of Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and Louis Spohr (1784-1859) will be marked, and the music of three sisters and spouses; Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn (Hensel) and Alma Mahler will be explored. There will be two concerts, given by mezzo-soprano Louise Winter on Wednesday November 11th and baritone Jeremy Huw Williams on November 18th. The 2009 London Song Festival master-classes will be given by Sarah Walker CBE and take place on Thursdays November 19th and 26th.
