Gerald Barry's Jabberwocky Premieres in Brighton

Gerald Barry's <em>Jabberwocky</em> Premieres in Brighton

Gerald Barry’s new work for voice, horn and piano, Jabberwocky, debuts on January 20 in Brighton, UK. An intense and surreal musical narrative, so apparent in Barry’s hugely successful opera The Importance of Being Earnest, returns in a new guise in this, the composer’s latest vocal work. Setting Lewis Carroll’s famous poem, Barry uses the text twice – first in French with expressive legato phrases and then more forcefully in German. The world premiere performance will take place in Brighton Dome, followed by performances in Cambridge, London and Norwich. Singer Mark Padmore, horn player Richard Watkins, and pianist and fellow Schott composer Huw Watkins do the honors.
