Man, Woman, Child

Set in the beginning of World War II, Man, Woman, Child follows the story of Thomas, a Navy officer, and his fiancée Catherine as they navigate life during the conflict. Between his initial departure and his brief visits home, the couple are continuously connected through letters of love, fear and heartache.

Join us for an evening of art song and choral music being brought to life in this original staged performance built around Jonathan Dove’s duet song cycle Man, Woman, Child.
