Emma Kirkby Masterclass

In between performances in Cambridge and New York, Soprano and Early Music specialist Emma Kirkby makes a stop at NEC to lead a masterclass. Recognized by critics and audiences alike for her intensely expressive singing and her pure, bright tone, she was the recent recipient of the Queen's Medal for Music. Dame Emma said she was “very pleased and grateful” to receive the Award. She said: “I feel extremely lucky to have worked so many years with excellent colleagues, both singers and instrumentalists, in the revival of music from the richest eras of our national heritage; this is repertoire offering joy and fulfillment to players and listeners alike and I am happy to see so many younger artists now adding their own voices to the endeavour.”
