Eliasson "Future Stars" - Concert in Stockholm - 16/01/10 18.00 Grunewaldsalen, Stockholm

The good news is that if you are in Stockholm on the above date, you can have the pleasure of enjoying a concert given by the extremely exciting new group of young singers who are in the "Future Stars" Programme of Eliasson Artists Management, brainchild of the distinguished tenor Goran Eliasson, and Anna Larsson, the ikonic contralto, who are training and inspiring this talented group. I have had the pleasure of joining Anna and Matthias Bohm, the eminent accompanist and coach, in Masterclasses in Stockholm - so much talent, and really awakening the 'ART of SINGING' to audiences hungry for the new 'sounds of music' - mmmmm -- (amazing what a little air can do when fully synchronised with the body)....It is my great good fortune to be part of a growing concern Internationally by some other very fine artists - Dame Kiri te Kanawa and her Foundation in New Zealand, successfully and generously supporting gifted young singers from the Pacific area, (type in - anna sims breathing on Google), and Rosalind Plowright, O.B.E., in the U.K.. Incredibly she has just returned from New York where she made a major contribution to the success of "Hansel and Gretel" at The Metropolitan Opera, playing the role of "The Mother". Rosalind has been a brilliant singer in the world's operatic life for some thirty five years - and is still in great voice - and going strong !!! Fantastic....You can see her in Google at - Rosalind Plowright.com - check down to item - Rosalind Plowright Classical Singing Lesson and minimasterclass ... At present I am isolated by the heavy snowfall which, typically, has almost 'shut down' the U.K., and the cold spell is expected to continue indefinitely...never fear, I have enough fuel and food to survive a couple of months!! Survival is basic to anyone who was brought up in a wartime situation, cupboards full of dried, preserved, and tinned foods..mmmm..think I'll go and make some nice, nourishing soup...'bye for now - k..p b.......g...and warmly wrapped up...
