Russian pianist Varvara Tarasova was born in St Petersburg. In 2014 she won a scholarship from London’s Royal College of Music as a postgraduate student in Master of Performance under the tutelage of Professor Dina Parakhina. At the Royal College of Music she is a Soiree d’Or Scholar. Varvara currently collaborates with the Yamaha Artistic Center and St. Petersburg International Performing Arts Center.
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.
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.
