Acclaimed mezzo-soprano Dame Ann Murray leads an inspirational coaching session for Britten Pears Young Artists.

Working with singers and pianists from the 2022–23 cohort of Britten Pears Young Artists, Dame Ann Murray will lead an in-depth exploration of Britten’s song ahead of the Britten Song Trail on 14 June.
