Hailed as ‘a knockout performer’ by The Times, Fleur Barron has thrilled audiences all over the world and emerged as one of today’s most exciting and fresh-thinking singers. She joins forces with Bruno Philippe to present a characteristically vibrant programme ranging from Schubert to the world of French chanson, including a spellbinding new song cycle in which Kian Ravaei explores his Iranian heritage. ‘Silky, smoky, her mezzo-soprano sank low with intensity and made the melismatic meanderings shine; melody and word glowed vividly. This was mesmerizing singing, as if Barron were conjuring the music from the very air around her’ Opera Today
