Experience the beauty, elegance and perfection of nature, as portrayed in music.  Nature’s Voice and Violin interweaves Vivaldi’s legendary Four Seasons with arias by Purcell, Handel and Vivaldi, exploring the wonders of the natural world. The colour and vibrancy of one of the most famous works ever written is offset by the calm, ethereal beauty of Elin Manahan Thomas’ voice.
