We are very pleased to inform you that Karina Lucas and Simon Lane are amongst the small selection of artists chosen and recommended by Making Music in the Concert Promoters Network Brochure 2009-2010.
The Concert Promoters´ Network is a multiple-bookings programme of recommended chamber artists and ensembles, brought together by Making Music on behalf of its voluntary music promoters.
Each year the Making Music Concert Promoters´ Committee selects a number of different artists and ensembles for inclusion in the Network brochure. Special fees are negotiated with each artist so that Making Music promoters save money when there are multiple bookings of the same artist.
The Brochure wil be circulated by Making Music later this month.
Following their recent audition, Naoko Miyamoto (one of Simon Lane's regular duo partners) has been selected for the Tillett Trust Young Artists' Platform 2008. As part of ths award, Simon will be performing with Naoko at the Wigmore Hall on Monday 16th February 2009.
On Friday 16th March, Simon performed with baritone David Butt-Philip in the final round of the prestigious Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks Award, which was created to celebrate the life of the great British tenor Richard Lewis. Earlier in the year we were delighted to report that, as part of this competition, Simon received the Brenda Webb Award for Best Accompanist and that David Butt-Philip was the winner of this important competition for young singers. You may therefore like the opportunity to hear them, when David Butt-Philip and Simon Lane give a lunchtime recital together at Colston Hall, Bristol on 27th November 2007.
Recital partners Katie Stillman and Simon Lane are amongst the small selection of artists chosen and recommended by Making Music in the Concert Promoters Network Brochure 2008-2009, to be published in May.
