Song Recital by James Gilchrist & Anna Tilbrook Live Music & Concerts


James Gilchrist and Anna Tilbrook will perform a Shakespeare themed song recently broadcast on Radio 3


We are delighted that we will be joined by outstanding tenor James Gilchrist, and his accompanist Anna Tilbrook, who grew up in Harpenden. James and Anna will perform a Shakespeare themed song recital, recently broadcast on Radio 3. Beginning with the 18th century British composer Thomas Arne, and moving through until the middle of the 20th century, their programme demonstrates the many ways in which composers have approached Shakespeare’s timeless texts in solo songs.
After their recital, James and Anna will conduct a masterclass with three young local singers. The Lea Singers are particularly pleased that, in mezzo-sopranos Izzi Blain and Nina Vinther, the masterclass attendees will include a current and former Lea Singers intern, highlighting the success of our interns scheme at helping talented young local singers to broaden their musical experience. Izzi and Nina will be joined by Oliver Martin-Smith, a tenor lay clerk at St Albans Abbey. All three will perform a solo song, then will be helped to perfect their performances by James and Anna. We hope that local singers, young and old, will come along to this free event and pick up some tips to improve their own singing techniques. The young singers’ masterclass is kindly sponsored by Harpenden Music Foundation.
