This summer there will be two performances of Arlodhes a Shalott, the romantic era song cycle composed by Matthew Thomason featuring the Cornish translation by Elizabeth Ellis of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem, The Lady of Shalott.
The first performance will be on Saturday 6th June at St Endellion Church, where it all began back in 2024 at the Endelienta Cornish Language Residency.
The second one will be on Thursday 25th June at Pendennis Castle, Falmouth. This unique event will take place within the castle’s keep by candlelight.
Links for how to buy tickets for both performances in Cornwall can be found at www.matthewthomasonmusic.co.uk.
In September, the London premiere of Arlodhes a Shalott will take place, and later in the year a recording of the song cycle will be released. Further information about the performance in London and the launch of the recording will follow soon.
