Simon Keenlyside is a regular, and admired, visitor to Edinburgh International Festival stages. For his 2016 International Festival recital, however, he makes a departure from his perhaps expected classical Lieder repertoire.

Keenlyside joins a quintet of some of the finest young British jazz musicians for a foot-tapping concert delving into the energy and emotion of Broadway songs, and exploring their origins in the European traditions of sparkling operetta and subversive Berlin cabaret.

I can’t think of another baritone who can match him for beautiful tone, nuance of expression and immaculate diction.
