Simon Tedeschi

Canberra International Music Festival 2018 presents Enoch Arden

Tennyson’s epic poem is a deeply moving tale of love, loss, shipwreck and redemption. Set by Richard Strauss as a musical melodrama, with spoken word accompanied by piano, Enoch Arden is a fitting vehicle for the beautiful partnership of John Bell and Simon Tedeschi.
