Led by Anna Stéphany, Caroline Dowdle and James Garnon, with staff pianist Somi Kim. Embark on a fascinating exploration through the world of song and opera with eight rising stars of classical music in Samling Institute’s public masterclass and concert. Six singers and two pianists work on song and opera repertoire with a team of renowned leaders, in front of a live audience. Samling Institute for Young Artists welcomes back the acclaimed mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany to lead our Samling Artist Programme’s public masterclass and concert, at the end of an intensive week-long residential course. Anna, who became a Samling Artist in 2005, is the first singer to return to us to lead the programme that she herself benefitted from. She will be joined by Caroline Dowdle of the Royal Opera House and actor James Garnon. You can catch all three as they coach, challenge and inspire eight emerging artists in this public masterclass at Sage Two, followed by a short concert.
