Last year, I won the Cambridge University Symphony Orchestra Concert Competition, and this week I joined them to sing Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder at West Road Concert Hall. Having performed these songs a number of times with piano already, it was joyful to sing with the deeper pallet of orchestral colour. These are so emotionally fraut; you feel them more deeply every time you perform them. I know this is only the start of my journey with these very special songs.
Thank you to CUSO’s wonderful conductor, Naoki Toyomura.
