Programme to include:
Schoenberg: Das Buch der hängenden Gärten
Strauss: Songs (full list of songs on EIF's website, below)

Sensational mezzo soprano Christianne Stotijn graduated from the BBC’s New Generation Artists scheme and has gone on to establish herself as one of the most exciting and sought after singers of her generation. 2010 sees her Festival debut with regular collaborator Joseph Breini.

The Book of the Hanging Gardens marks Schoenberg’s move from tonal tradition to harmonies commonly associated with the expressionist movement.

‘a class apart; she stamps every note and word with character, and delivers her songs with a lyrical glow’ (The Times)
