Temple Song: Axelle Fanyo

Axelle Fanyo soprano

Julius Drake piano

From the exoticism of Ravel's Shéhérazade through the wit, elegance and emotional depth of Poulenc, to cabaret, jazz, and tango, one of Europe's rising stars joins Julius Drake in a wonderfully eclectic selection of 20th century song. The programme is a real showcase of Fanyo's extraordinary gift as a storyteller. We are thrilled to welcome one of most promising singers of her generation, who is making a mark on both the opera world and in concert halls.
