A Masterclass with Ian Partridge

Friday, 01 May 2015, 19:30
Trinity URC & Trinity Centre, Wimbledon, Mansel Road, Wimbledon SW19 4AA

Ian Partridge, the international lyric tenor and the choir’s President, will provide a fascinating insight into singing at the highest level, working with students from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.

He has an international reputation as a concert singer and recitalist. His phenomenal list of over 150 recordings includes Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin (first choice in BBC Radio 3’s 'Building a Library'), Britten’s  Serenade,  Vaughan  Williams’s  On  Wenlock  Edge,  and, with The Sixteen, Handel’s Chandos Anthems and the Evangelist in Bach’s St John Passion. The Thames Television production of Benjamin Britten’s St Nicolas, with Ian Partridge in the title role, won the Prix Italia.  He made his operatic debut at Covent Garden singing the role of Iopas in Berlioz’ Les Troyens, conducted by Sir Colin Davis and subsequently recorded by Philips.  He has appeared in over 2000 concerts and more than 530 TV and radio broadcasts.

Masterclass with Peter PearsAlthough now retired from public recitals and performances (his last was with WCS in the choir's Christmas concert in December 2008), Ian continues teaching and mentoring young singers as a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music, and was awarded the CBE in 1992 for services to music.

This old image shows him working in a masterclass himself with Peter Pears.
