07 March 2024, 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Our popular Song at Wolfson series continues in March with a recital given by award-winning Spanish soprano Lorena Paz Nieto and pianist Sholto Kynoch. They will perform a selection of captivating music that takes us from Europe to Russia, Japan, and eventually to Argentina, including songs by Poulenc, Viardot, Rachmaninov and Takuboku Ishakawa. Alberto Ginastera's Cinco canciones populares argentinas brings the evening to a rousing conclusion.
Lorena Paz Nieto is an alumna of the National Opera Studio, a previous winner of the Oxford Song Young Artist Platform and the Ludmilla Andrews Russian Song Prize, and winner of ‘Vocalist of the year’ at the 2019 LUKAS awards.
