Richard Stokes
Putney Music: “Translator, song competition juror, author of numerous books on the song repertoire and Professor of Lieder at London’s Royal Academy of Music, Richard Stokes talks to our vice-president Ian Partridge”.
With thanks to Andrew Neill for suggesting this
Thanks, Andrew N.! Speaking as Programme Secretary for Putney Music along with my partner Peter Avis, I have to agree that this is one of the most absorbing of our online presentations this season in the absence of face-to-face meetings. Do go to putneymusic.org.uk for the other goodies this season: Benjamin Appl talking to Ian Partridge; my old university friend Sir Donald Runnicles talking to me; Sian Edwards ditto; Brian Kay talking to Peter Avis; Ben Rich (BBC Weatherman who plays violin in the London Gay SO) talking to me. And much else on its way. And do consider becoming a member for when this venerable Society meets again in ‘reality’ – with luck next season, starting in September.
