The excellent duo of Phil Gault and Claire Haslin will be performing in the community theatre at Arran High School tonight (Saturday).
They have been warmly acclaimed throughout Scotland and beyond. A married couple, they have been performing together since 2003. Phil, a baritone from Wales, has found his ideal piano accompanist in Claire, who is from Glasgow, and, as well as their concert work, teaches at the Royal Conservatoire there. Phil has also sung in opera and on TV.
Their programme on Arran promises to range widely from 19th-century songs by Schubert and Brahms, to more recent works by such as Poulenc and Vaughan-Williams. It is to be hoped that Phil will also include some Welsh songs, for which he has been much praised.
