Blackheath Concert Halls Recital

Many thanks to all those who attended on the 16th April and my pianist Jonathan Beatty.

The programme included a lovely but not very often performed selection from Richard Strauss’ Brentano Lieder, Quatre Chansons de Jeunesse by Debussy, two songs from Before Sundown composed for me by Raymond Schroyens and the delightful Cuatro Madrigales Amatorios by Joaquin Rodrigo.

REVIEW
“This was one of the best recitals curated by Tom Butler at Blackheath.

Billed as a coloratura soprano, the Belgian singer Ann de Renais began with Strauss, revealing a rich, mezzo tone quality (afterwards she told me that she had indeed worked as a mezzo in the past). But she likes ascending to the leger lines, and does so with equanimity and complete control; no feeling of doing perilous tricks.

This was a well chosen and balanced programme, including two rich settings of English words (Yeats & Adelaide Love) composed especially for her. Jonathan Beatty was a more than exemplary partner, sensitive to all the nuances, and balancing the singer perfectly on the Recital Room's fine Bösendorfer.

A singer to look out for and one to go a distance to hear! ”

Vocal Masterclass Day

Since 2002 Ann has organised vocal masterclasses for David Jones in London. These take place in Spring and Autumn.

The classes usually last for 2 hours during which 4 singers perform a piece accompanied on the piano.Each singer is then given specific suggestions to improve sound production and vocal delivery by David Jones.

These events are open to the public.

In case you don't feel like singing yourself, you may still be interested to find out how a person develops their vocal potential and get answers to how the voice works. This takes place in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
