Mezzo Soprano : Carolyn Dobbin
Carolyn Dobbin set up the Northern Irish Song Project in 2014 and has been collecting songs by composers from the North of Ireland ever since. Now, ten years later, in her Lark Recital, she will highlight forgotten songs written by trailblazing women composers from Northern Ireland and give them the attention they so deserve, in an exceptional, even unique, musical tribute. In concert Carolyn Dobbin has performed Handel’s Messiah with the Philharmonia Orchestra; Mozart Requiem at London’s Royal Festival Hall and for RTVE Madrid; Beethoven 9th Symphony at the Barbican Hall, London; Classical Spectacular for Raymond Gubbay Ltd and Messiah, under the baton of Sir David Willcocks, both at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
