Meet Sofie Kirwan-Baez (soprano), Angharad Rowlands (mezzo-soprano), Hugo Brady (tenor) and Peter Edge (baritone), who were chosen from a field of over 100 singers to be our next cohort of Risings Stars of the Enlightenment. Over the next two seasons they will appear regularly with the Orchestra as part of our Bach, the Universe and Everything series at Kings Pkace and as soloists at the Southbank Centre and on tour.

In this evening’s recital they will perform arias by Handel, Monteverdi and Vivaldi with members of the OAE.
