Some pop stars make music for the sake of it. But for Be Charlotte – 21-year-old Dundonian – music is about meaning. Since starting to find her voice as a teenager, Be Charlotte has been all about finding inner strength and inspiring others to do the same, and is ready to speak up. Leaving school at 17 to concentrate on music, she has played extensively around Europe, North America and Africa, honing her songwriting craft by taking in influences from classic songwriters, modern pop and hip hop. Taking on a male-dominated industry, Be Charlotte aims to challenge that hegemony with her mix of anthemic songwriting, shimmering pop synth sounds and banging beats. You can dance to her music, but there’s meaning behind it too.

Victor Borge was a brilliant pianist, virtuoso comedian and “the funniest man in the world” (New York Times). In the 1960s he became the world’s highest paid entertainer, loved by audiences around the globe – a career which lasted to his death in the year 2000.
In this award-winning show, his extraordinary life is retold and his hilarious act re-imagined for the 21st century by his natural successor, Rainer Hersch.
A virtuoso comedian in his own right, Rainer has been entertaining audiences with his own brand of musical humour for over twenty years. A total sellout at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in appearances across three continents, this show is “a tearstreamingly funny tribute” from one great performer to another – a treat for Borge fans and newcomers alike.
At Perth Festival, Rainer Hersch teams up with internationally acclaimed pianist Danny Driver and Spanish soprano Laura Ruhí Vidal to re-ignite the magic of Victor Borge’s classic routines. Don’t miss this “Broadway calibre show” (Montreal Gazette) with musicians of the highest calibre and comedy like no other on the stage today.
“Two great comedians for the price of one ★★★★★” (Metro)
“Victor Borge for a new generation” (Sunday Times)
“Don’t miss this divine comedy” (Daily Mail)
“The most captivating solo performance I have ever seen” (Edmonton Journal, Canada)
We are delighted to be joined by pianist Danny Driver and soprano Laura Ruhí Vidal for a colourful programme that interlaces piano music and song written between 1903 and 1917.
Debussy’s stately evocation of ancient Greek art and his mystical conjuring of an evening in Moorish Granada introduce song cycles by Ravel and Falla. The recital closes with Ravel’s piano work Le Tombeau de Couperin, an intimate yet virtuosic homage to French baroque keyboard tradition, and at the same time a memorial to friends and acquaintances killed in the Great War.
Tickets include teas and coffees prior to the performance.
About the Artists
The enthusiasm and appreciation of audiences and critics around the world has cemented Danny Driver’s international repuation as a versatile and creative pianist of sophistication, interpretative insight and musical depth. His recordings have earned three Gramophone Award nominations, Limelight Magazine’s Instrumental Recording of the Year 2014, and recent selection in the New York Times’ 25 Best Classical Records of 2017. Solo recital invitations bring Driver to concert halls across Europe, Asia and North America, while concerto engagements have taken him to orchestras including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and frequent collaborations with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In a decade-long relationship with Hyperion Records, Driver has produced an acclaimed solo discography.
Soprano Laura Ruhí Vidal (Girona, 1990) graduated from the Opera Course at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she also studied the BMus (Hons) and was awarded Artist Fellowship.
