We caught up with Horizon Artist Emma Arizza to chat about innovation, collaboration and making classical music essential to our daily lives. | “I love thinking about creative and innovative ways to engage different audiences and make people discover the incredible world of classical music” - Emma Arizza

We caught up with Horizon Artist soprano Shafali Jalota about spine-tingling musical moments and the value art brings to society | “I’d like everyone to understand the value that the arts bring to society...Art is part of the fabric of our lives; it should be valued that way”

Join us for DEBUT’s new monthly classical music experience south of the river at Brunel Museum’s historic Grade II* listed Thames Tunnel Shaft | The Brunels hosted the first underground concert party here in 1827 and we are continuing the tradition at this remarkable venue!

DEBUT at Brunel Museum offers awe-inspiring performances, time to chat to your favourite musicians and the chance to learn more about Brunel’s remarkable feat of engineering.

There’s always a certain level of excitement (and trepidation!!) launching a new series… Sat at the pub after the workshop, alongside many of the participants, we can’t be more excited for Know the Show’s development over the coming years! What makes it unique? - who better to answer that than everyone who came along…

This week as part of our Artist Development Programme, Horizon Project, we had two closed Masterclasses at Clapham Omnibus.

Why closed (with no-one else watching)? - So that both the artists and Gary and Jo could feel they could speak candidly, take more risks and allow themselves to be more vulnerable. Thanks to the great insights, tips and guidance from Gary and Jo, they were both really valuable and insightful sessions!

Following 125 applications and live auditions in London we were blown away by the artists who applied for the programme. We have been able to expand the programme, allocating opportunities on an artist by artist basis, tailoring it to individual needs. Each singer and instrumentalist has something unique to offer the classical music industry and we can’t wait to share their stories with you through training, performance and evergreen digital content.

Love singing? - or ever wondered what it feels like to perform in your favourite show? Announcing DEBUT’s new interactive day-long 'Know the Show' workshops in central London.

Read how the workshops came about, after an approach from members of English National Opera’s recently disbanded Community Chorus and how you can get involved!
