TENOR Nicholas Mulroy is to return to the South West for a concert at Highampton later this month.

Mulroy and his regular collaborator John Reid will provide an evening's entertainment of arias, songs, melodies and tangos at Lower Pulworthy on May 25.

Liverpool born and bred, Mulroy is a graduate of Clare College, Cambridge, and has studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

He has appeared in numerous first class productions and worked with leading names in the music world, including Trevor Pinnock, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Sir Colin Davis.

John Reid is a pianist of exceptional versatility and range, with tremendous experience as a chamber musician, song accompanist, soloist and new music. Also studying at Clare College and the Royal Academy of Music, he has won a number of awards, including the Gerald Moore award, the 2003 Kathleen Ferrier and Maggie Teyte pianist prizes.

Catherine Hodgson, director and founder of Concerts in the West, said: 'Both Nicholas Mulroy and John Reid are exceptional performers in their own right, but the music they produce together is brilliant.

'We are all in for a real treat and this is definitely not a concert to be missed.'

The concert programme will include Purcell, Britten, Schubert, and Carlos Gardel among others. It takes place on May 25 at 7.30pm.
