Gerald Finley takes to the stage – and screens – with two forthcoming live streamed concerts.

On Saturday, 26 September, at 19:30 BST, Finley joins long-term collaborator pianist Julius Drake at Wigmore Hall. The programme features a combination of the French and American song traditions, mixing art songs by Ives and Barber with the Great American Songbook. The recital, which will be streamed in HD at wigmore-hall.org.uk, will be available for 30 days.

On Wednesday, 30 September, at 20:00 BST, Finley joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its Principal Conductor Delegate Edward Gardner in their welcome return to the concert hall. Finley will perform Sibelius’s windswept song-cycle In the Stream of Life, orchestrated by Rautavaara. The programme also features Jörg Widmann’s Con brio and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. The concert will be streamed on Marquee TV.
