A Spanish Detour: Lorena Paz Nieto & Johan Barnoin

15 October 2016, 5:30pm 31 December 2024 - 4:48am

The Oxford Lieder Young Artist Platform attracts an astonishing level of emerging talent; young stars embarking on major careers. Today's duo were clear winners at the auditions, which took place at the Spring Weekend of Song back in March, and they now give recitals around the country under the banner of the Young Artist Platform. This concert is a showcase for these stars of the future, who are already making great names for themselves.

A Spanish theme runs through much of their programme, which includes works by Wolf, Mendelssohn and Brahms, as well as Schumann. They also perform, in a thrilling detour from our Schumann voyage, songs by Manuel de Falla, including his most famous 'Seven Popular Songs'

See our other 2016 Young Artist Platform Winners in recital on 16th October.

Festal supper will be available from 6:30pm every evening (except Thursday 20th). Enjoy a delicious hot main meal and side dish between the afternoon and evening recitals for just £11. Our food partners this year are the Vaults & Garden Café, The Oxford University Club, and St Stephen’s House. Please book by midnight the day before by clicking here.
