Overview
Who Calls The Tune?
Iain Burnside, member of the Competition Jury, pianist, accompanist and composer, talks to fellow Jury member Ailish Tynan, one of the most colourful and entertaining sopranos singing today.
They are joined by Simon Lepper, pianist and member of the Invitation Jury for the Wigmore Competition and Roderick Williams, one of the UK’s most versatile baritones, whose repertoire encompasses baroque to contemporary. The panel will discuss the very special relationship between singer and pianist with particular reference to the classic song recital, and with illustrations from the vast repertoire.
Is Singing An Olympic Sport?
Iain Burnside chairs a panel including soprano Susan Bullock, baritone Marcus Farnsworth and artists’ agent and Jury member Maxine Robertson to discuss the highs and lows of song competitions, and how they can shape a young artist’s career.
