This is a chance to hear the Young Artists in an informal and welcoming setting, and to meet them in person afterwards.

Our new group of Young Artists start with us in mid-September, and on 8 October we will be holding a special fundraising evening at Ognisko, where you can meet the singers and pianists as well as support our work. It will also be an opportunity to meet Eric Melear, our new Artistic Director. We are also delighted that the evening will be introduced by Rachel Nicholls, one of the most exciting dramatic sopranos working today and one of our principal coaches. Attendance will be limited to 80 guests.

We have a target of £10,000 to raise from this evening, and therefore, in addition to the admission fee of £75, we kindly request donations of at least £75 towards our work. 

The format for the evening will be:

  • 7pm: Reception and canapés
  • 7:30pm: Recital by the new Young Artists
  • 8:45pm: Informal opportunity to meet the Young Artists over a drink. Bowl food will be served.

Dress: Cocktail / Lounge suits
