Programme Note
In this semi-staged production of words and music, Samling Academy Singers share some of the treasures that we find and lose on our journey through life – the exciting discoveries of new love, nostalgia for the places we can never return to and the everyday drama of misplaced objects.
Samling Academy is an intensive year-long training programme for young classical singers who live or study in North East England. Singers who are selected for this programme are coached by world-class vocal teachers, opera singers, pianists, actors and movement specialists.
The programme is directed by Samling Artists Miranda Wright and Leo Nicholson, who will accompany and includes music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Roger Quilter, Gabriel Fauré and Leonard Bernstein.
