Concerts 2012
18 May 2012, 8pmDame Felicity Lott and Joseph MiddletonProgramme to include songs by Purcell, Schubert, Elgar, Poulenc, Britten, Hahn and Noël Coward. Dame Felicity Lott is one of Britain's best-loved sopranos. In opera, her portrayals of the Strauss and Mozart roles in particular have led to critical and popular acclaim worldwide. Her concert engagements take her to the major orchestras, working with Rattle, Haitink, Mehta, Previn, Masur, Welser-Möst, Sawallisch and Sir Andrew Davis. Much of her concert and recital repertoire is recorded, as are many of her great operatic roles: from her wonderful Marschallin under Carlos Kleiber to her Belle Helene, with which she enchanted the Parisians when she sang the role for the first time at the Chatelet in Paris in 2000. A founder member of The Songmakers' Almanac, Felicity has appeared on the major recital platforms of the world and in June 2005 she celebrated the 30th anniversary of her recital debut at the Wigmore Hall. A noted exponent of French song, she has been awarded the title Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Legion d’Honneur by the French Government. She was made a CBE in the 1990 New Year Honours and, in 1996, was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire. In February 2003 she was awarded the title of Bayerische Kammersängerin. Most recently she was made Doctor Honoris Causa of the University Paris Sorbonne. Tonight she is joined by Pembroke’s College Musician, Joseph Middleton, winner of the Pianist’s Prize at the Wigmore Hall International Song Competition and recently described in The Times as ‘the cream of the new generation’. Location: The Old Library, Pembroke College Cambridge Tickets: Tickets £15 (£10 college members, £5 students) available from the Porter’s Lodge or on the door. |
