Elizabeth Watts, Soprano
Sholto Kynoch, Piano

With a voice described by International Record Review as “one of the most beautiful Britain has produced in a generation”, Elizabeth Watts is “now established as one of Britain’s leading sopranos” (The Guardian). A former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Elizabeth makes frequent appearances at the Royal Opera House, the BBC Proms, and in recital at Wigmore Hall and the Aldeburgh Festival. Her wide-ranging programme for Paxton with pianist Sholto Kynoch, director of the Oxford Lieder Festival, features Strauss’ sublime Four Last Songs and a selection of Britten’s inimitable folk song arrangements

“…refreshing and unfailingly engaging performances.” –Gramophone Magazine

POST-CONCERT: Ticket holders for the 8pm performance are invited to stay on for a short informal Q&A session with Elizabeth and Sholto immediately after the concert.
