Weddings & Parties Over Coffee | Newcastle Music Festival | Concert Two

Solo Cantatas with Miriam Allan

Award-winning Australian soprano Miriam Allan has achieved international fame, performing as soloist with leading ensembles including Les Arts Florissants, English Baroque Soloists and Concerto Copenhagen, and singing at the funeral of HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Miriam returns home for this very special program featuring Bach's poignant and heartwarming Wedding Cantata together with his Coffee Cantata, a miniature comic opera about a disgruntled father and his coffee-obsessed daughter. Miriam will perform alongside her father, Australian baritone Christopher Allan.

Newcastle Music Festival is delighted to welcome Bach Akademie Australia and their dear friends Miriam and Christopher Allan for this special concert.
