Overview

Winner of Singer of the Year at the 2021 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards at Wigmore Hall last November, the Liverpool mezzo is never short of creative ideas, as this particular event in collaboration with Malcolm Martineau and focusing on ‘Women, Interrupted’ demonstrates in a programme of works in four languages written between the 17th and 21st centuries.
