Schubert was a gifted guitarist, and there is considerable evidence to support the fact that Schubert wrote many of his songs with the guitar in mind. Christoph Denoth is a world-renowned guitarist and an expert on the use of the instrument in this repertoire. He is joined by rising star Nathalie Chalkley in what is sure to be a magical evening in the atmospheric setting of New College Chapel.
