Cancelled: Cheltenham Music Festival - BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists III

The Kyrgyz-born Katharina Konradi is the first soprano from the country to have an international career as a lied, concert and opera singer. She makes her Bayreuth Festival debut this summer under the baton of Valery Gergiev, and performs a number of songs, details to be added, in this recital.

The recital also features the 19-year-old violinist Johan Dalene, already winning over audiences thanks to his engaging and refreshingly honest musical style, and Anastasia Kobekina and Eliabeth Brauss, both of whom proved a huge hit in Cheltenham last summer. Together they perform Shostakovich’s second Piano Trio, finished in the spring of 1944 and written in the aftermath of both national and personal tragedy.
