Phil Minton

English singer Phil Minton and pianist Veryan Weston have been working together since the early 1980s, their wayward path crisscrossing and combining music hall, art song, free improvisation, and union anthems. Usually restricted to duo and quartet formats, here they make the most of a unique opportunity to match their material to an orchestra, creating an hour-long program in five movements that includes many of their most memorable songs.
