Soprano Hilary Cronin joins Netty for a tea and chat in the basement of the University Women's Club. They talk about catching the 'music bug' growing up in a musical family, Hilary's fondness for the clarinet, and the joys of bringing different characters to life from costumes and wigs to finding the right outfit.
Hilary Cronin revisits her early memories of performing in pantomimes, alongside ballet, tap and jazz lessons that fuelled her love of performing. She talks about singing in choirs and as a soloist in different settings, her work with the OAE on baroque repertoire, and her hopes of exploring new repertoire and trying something different.
Tea with Netty is our podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.
