Inspiration


The Red Tree, The Coronation of Poppea, The Band's Visit and Mamma Mia! So what do all these things have in common?? Well they all made me laugh, cry, sing and sigh! I think it's always good to take time out from our own performing world to find inspiration from other artists and art forms. 

So what's this all leading up to? Well a few months packed full of concerts in festivals throughout Europe! Bach in the Bach & Combrailles Festival, Berlioz, Rimsky-Korsakov, Gershwin and Tschaikovsky in the Festival Berlioz, the Festival de Musique La Chaise-Dieu and the Musikfest Bremen with Anima Eterna, Bach in Zermatt with Capriccio Stravagante, Schutz in the Schutz Festival, Den Haag and Schenk in the Berlin Tage fur Alte Muzik with La Suave Melodia plus a few days of teaching in between at the KonCon in The Hague!

Then it's back to OZ for another exciting season with Pinchgut, Salut! and Convivio and then time for the Peninsula Summer Music Festival with Ironwood!! Yeah:)
