John Toal presents the second programme in this week's Lunchtime Concert series from the Northern Ireland Opera Festival of Voice, recorded at St. Patrick's Church of Ireland in Glenarm, Co. Antrim. Today's programme begins with mezzo-soprano Clara Mouriz alongside pianist Simon Lepper and the Spanish Composer Jesús Guridi's 'Tres Canciones Castellanas' based on popular Castilian melodies. Following this, Irish soprano Aoife Miskelly and pianist Will Vann present a series of songs including British composer Geoffrey Bush's setting of Shakespeare's 'It was a lover and his Lass'. New Generation Artist, tenor, Ilker Arcayürek then performs Beethoven's 'Adelaide', based on words by German poet Friedrich von Matthisson. There are arias from two different 'Midsummer' opera settings, by Britten and Tippett, performed by Aoife Miskelly.
