Birmingham Contemporary Music Group
Singers: Mary Carewe / Richard Morris

BCMG presents an evening of political songs and new vocal settings, under the brilliant direction of Dominic Muldowney, former Head of Music at the National Theatre.

This cabaret-style concert features the world premiere of Dominic Muldowney’s Sound Investment commission – a series of settings of John Betjeman, WH Auden and Edward Thomas – alongside political songs from pre-war Berlin and more recently by John Woolrich and Colin Matthews, plus ensemble suites by Hanns Eisler.

The multi-faceted Muldowney recently produced an extraordinary War Oratorio for Channel 4 television, using theatre-trained voices, rather than classically-trained singers, as soloists. For this cabaret Muldowney will similarly work with actor-singers, a particular interest of his, imbuing the programme with an extra immediacy and sense of theatre.

Buy a drink, take a seat and be transported by our cabaret singers, Mary Carewe and Richard Morris, between 1930s Germany and contemporary Britain, during an evening of entertaining delights from both eras.
