Dominic Felts and Pietro Lacopini - Munch with Music November 2023

Dominic and Pietro are alumni of Trinity Laban Conservatoire. We have extracts from their Love and Wonder recital in this video.
 
They created a rich ambience throughout their performance which was greatly appreciated by the audience. We were even treated to an encore (a first in my MwM experience), Ain't Misbehavin'.
 
I trust they will be able to revisit us in the future.
 
The full programme was:
 
Jonathan Dove - The Sailor Boy
Muriel Herbert - Loveliest of Trees
Muriel Herbert - Tewksbury Road
Franck - Nocturne
Schumann - Mondnacht
Finzi - It was a lover and his lass
Vaughan Williams - Silent Noon
Ravel - Chanson romanesque
Ibert - Chanson à Dulcinée
Britten - The Sally Gardens
Teresa del Riego - Homing
Rogers & Hammerstein - Some Enchanted Evening
 
My apologies for the video quality, a light balance issue is the cause.
