Claudia Boyle, Niall O’Sullivan & Conor Linehan
The enduring appeal of high brasswinds combined with voice goes back several centuries, to the days when trebles and tenors of the Venetian cori spezzatti sang alternatim against cornetts and sackbuts high from the balconies of St. Mark’s in Venice.

April’s tour showcases the lasting appeal of this pairing through the combined talents of a trio made up of some of the country’s most sought-after artists.
Leading this line-up is soprano Claudia Boyle, a national treasure whose stellar international career has taken her to the four corners of the globe in collaboration with the likes of Riccardo Muti, Paavo Järvi and Kent Nagano. Equally at home on opera and concert stages—or even in front of a film camera—Boyle’s crystalline voice intertwines with the world-class musicianship of Irish trumpet virtuoso Niall O’Sullivan in an eclectic programme that includes Mozart, Handel and Haydn alongside Donizetti, Kurt Weill and Piazzolla.
Weaving together the clarion call of these two trebles is the renowned pianist Conor Lineham, whose impressive pedigree completes this trio of consummate artists to enthral and enchant audiences everywhere.
