    Overview

    Words and shades of meaning invariably shape Nathalie Stutzmann’s emotionally intense interpretations of everything from grand opera to arias by Bach and Handel.

    She returns to Wigmore Hall as soloist with and director of Orfeo 55, the chamber orchestra she founded in 2009. The group’s versatility extends from using period instruments to performing contemporary scores on modern instruments.

    Under Stutzmann’s charismatic leadership, Orfeo 55 seeks to extract the greatest range of tone colours and expression in pursuit of revelatory music-making.
