Amy Harman and Roderick Williams head for The Village
Bassoon player Amy Harman and the baritone Roderick Williams join Anna Phoebe and Jeffrey Boakye as they travel from Greenwich Village to the Canary Islands
Baritone Roderick Williams and bassoonist Amy Harman kick off with a famous four-letter acronym as they add the next five tracks to the playlist with Anna Phoebe and Jeffrey Boakye as they go on their latest international musical journey.
From the cop, the cowboy and the construction worker in Greenwich Village, the show drops in on Brahms, visits the Canary Islands, and ends up at an unorthodox Ella Fitzgerald version of a traditional Scottish folk song.
