Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Irisch Kind,
Wo Weilest du?…..
Oed’ und leer das Meer.
(Eliot’s quote in the poem from the opening lines of Richard Wagner’s opera Tristan and Isolde)

The first of two fragments performed will be Im Treibhaus and Träume from Richard Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder, both studies from Tristan and Isolde. The second will be a selection of spirituals. Both fragments will be sung by the mezzo-soprano Ruby Philogene.

The Steinway concert piano chosen and hired by the T S Eliot Estate is supplied and maintained by Steinway & Sons, London.
