Since pianist Alisdair Hogarth founded The Prince Consort in 2003 this group of young singers has gone from strength to strength - exploring both the farther reaches of the 19th-century ensemble song repertoire and commissioning new works for voices. In tonight's concert they return to a composer for whom they have a special affection - Robert Schumann - with a fascinating cross-section of his music for voices - including his rarely-heard Spanish Love Songs of 1849.

The Prince Consort:
Anna Leese (soprano)
Jennifer Johnston (mezzo-soprano)
Andrew Staples (tenor)
Philip Smith (baritone)
Alisdair Hogarth (artistic director, piano)

Malcolm Martineau (piano).
