Barbara Hannigan’s EQ has high expectations: it fosters a culture in which awareness of the total musical picture is an absolute necessity, and not a rare exception. It facilitates a channel of communication between singers and instrumentalists in both opera and concert repertoire. This remarkable programme is made available to top notch emerging artists, handpicked by Barbara and our own Burt Wathen, and all provided at no cost to the attending artists. The concert is always an amazing one, and this year features Barbara Hannigan as singer and conductor alongside thirteen extremely talented emerging artists.
