Wigmore French Song Exchange 2022/23
This concert will be approximately 2 hours in duration, including an interval
The fourth, 'expanded' year of the Wigmore French Song Exchange returns with three recitals: two Wigmore Hall lunchtimes and a performance at the iconic Salle Cortot in Paris.
Devised by Dame Felicity Lott and François Le Roux, two great exponents of the mélodie, the Wigmore French Song Exchange offers eight gifted singers – and for the first time three pianists, guided by the celebrated Sebastian Wybrew – a year of coaching from their mentors and guest teachers, culminating in three showcase performances. This year, the course also explores English song, which will form part of these special concerts
The Salle Cortot, a Parisian cultural landmark and renowned recital hall similar to Wigmore Hall in its intimacy and charm, presents a full evening concert of all eight singers plus three chosen pianists. We hear ensemble pieces, English song and thoughtful interpretations of keystones of the mélodie genre,showcasing the next generation of French song talent.
Salle Cortot tickets can be purchased from Eventbrite.
