Add to my Calendar 25-07-2019 13:00 25-07-2019 15:00 36 Lunchtime Recital: Helen Charlston (mezzo-soprano) City Music Foundation returns to The Wallace Collection for its 4th annual Summer Residency (22nd – 26th July). Featuring six CMF Artists, 2019 sees the residency expanded beyond the popular free lunchtime recitals to include a children’s concert, a performance for dementia sufferers, and an evening concert centered around Schubert’s ‘Trout Quintet’ with guest performer, pianist Sholto Kynoch. 2018 CMF Artist Helen Charlston (mezzo-soprano) presents a song recital on the theme of paradise with pianist Adam Cigman-Mark. Hailed as a “rather special mezzo” (MusicWeb International), Helen Charlston’s warm and distinctive tone has cemented her as a key performer in the next generation of British singers. She received first prize in the 2018 Handel Singing Competition, was a finalist in the Hurn Court Opera Competition, and in the upcoming season she will make her debut with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic (Handel Messiah) and a return to Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra (Bach St Matthew Passion). Other 2018-19 season highlights include performances as Kings Place, St John’s Smith Square, Halle Handel Festival, and York Early Music Festival. Her operatic roles include First Witch (Purcell Dido and Aeneas – Wigmore Hall), Olga (Tchaikovsky Eugene Onegin), and Florence Pike (Britten Albert Herring). Helen has also created the roles of Anna (Tom Smail Blue Electric – Tête à Tête) and Dido (Rhiannon Randle Dido is Dead). Wallace Collection, London DD/MM/YYYYDetails
