Sean Shibe and Ben Johnson.

Ben Johnson (tenor) and Sean Shibe (guitar) will perform a fascinating love-themed programme that connects music, poetry and people across centuries on Wedesday next, November 22, at the Station House Theatre in Clifden.

This world-class duo from England and Scotland will perform a fascinating love-themed programme that connects music, poetry and people across centuries. Beginning with the 16th century love songs of Dowland, Rosseter and Morley, the programme stretches on to the grand, yearning Romanticism of Schubert and Beethoven, to Walton’s 20th century masterpiece Anon in Love, and as far as Lawra, a new Music Network commission from Brian Bolger receiving its premiere performances on this tour.

Fresh from winning the Concept Album of the Year award at the October 2019 Gramophone Classical Music Awards, Sean Shibe is a young Scot who has taken the world by storm in recent years. Equally at home in whatever genre he turns his hand to, Shibe has never set boundaries on the scope of his musical exploration.

One of the busiest young tenors in the chamber music and opera worlds, Ben Johnson is a multi-award winning recitalist and owner of one of the most beguiling voices around. Johnson won the Audience Prize at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World in 2013 and is also a former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and a Wigmore Hall Emerging Talent.
