Passionata Duo - Grosvenor Square 4 August 2012

[John]

While the Olympics has been on in London, a programme of free entertainment has been provided in London’s Grosvenor Square, under the title “Summer in the Square”.

Last Saturday lunch time I went up to see Passionata Duo, comprising recently profiled artist Rhiannon Lambert and Cecelia de Lisle.

I arrived in time to find a seat in the front row of deckchairs set out in front of the small stage.

Rhiannon and Cecelia performed two sets of about 45 minutes each with music from Opera, Classical, Films, Musical theatre and Pop; in short, a true Classical Crossover selection. Most of the numbers were performed as duets but each of them sang a couple of solos in each half.

I don't have a set list to share with you as I decided just to sit back and listen to the music, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Wishing you were somehow here again


Send in the clowns

Here is Rhiannon singing 'Wild Horses'



Now where have we heard that song before?

This is the last of the videos that I have to share. Sorry it cuts off part way through but at least my batteries didn't choose to die mid-phrase.
