"The Lyric Voice is a program of readings from literature - poetry, drama, novel and more - set in a context of great music. Shakespeare, Joyce, Yeats, some great Australian writing, as well as music from unexpected corners will all be heard. A great musician and a great actor have in common the creation of a great performance. You'll hear them in The Lyric Voice."
