Here’s another Hughes-related event for the diary, this time an opportunity to hear both a rare performance of a song cycle which Hughes wrote for the composer Gordon Crosse and to hear Crosses’s recollections of the collaboration. The event takes place in Cambridge at Hughes Hall on 26th April from 15.00 :
There will be discussion of Crosse's life and works, together with a performance of the song cycle The New World, based on poems specially written for the composer by Ted Hughes in 1969, the year of the Apollo moon landings. Accompanying the event will a rare chance to view selected items from Hughes Hall’s Ohtake collection, together with examples of Gordon Crosse’s music.
