It was an absolute privilege to perform an entirely new recital with the incredible @ArchieBonham today for the lovely Nancy Cooley at Lewes Festival of Song on the weekend. We were so delighted to have the wonderful Dame Felicity Lott and Louise Winter in the audience! 🌸🐞

And with that, the Wigmore Hall French Song Exchange is finished! What a wonderful experience to work with and learn from Sebastian Wybrew, François Le Roux and Felicity Lott. (As well as of course my wonderfully talented colleagues!)

Come along to Lewes Festival of Song on 29th June at 1pm, @ArchieBonham and I are performing a wonderful programme exploring childhood and youth!

Did the composers of these operatic classics specify a desired voice type?

We also can't wait to catch up with Ellen about her success at the @ferrierawards last month!
