Lost and Found: Samling Institute for Young Artists’ Summer concert at the Glasshouse, Gateshead

The Samling Institute’s Lost and Found at the Glasshouse, Gateshead on 12 July 2024, will provide an opportunity to hear the current crop of Samling Academy Singers in action, performing music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Roger Quilter, Gabriel Fauré, Leonard Bernstein and Flanders and Swann in a semi-staged evening of song, opera and poetry. We are promised exciting discoveries of new love, nostalgia for the places we can never return to and the everyday drama of misplaced objects.

Samling Artists soprano Miranda Wright and pianist Leo Nicholson will direct the programme and Leo will accompany the performance.
