Philip Langridge is one of the world’s most distinguished singers, in constant demand throughout Europe, the USA and Japan. He is particularly renowned for his interpretation of the works of Benjamin Britten. He was made a Commander of the British Empire in the Queen’s Birthday Honours of 1994.

“Philip Langridge has for many years been the natural, though completely distinctive, successor to Peter Pears in this and most of Britten’s other tenor roles. His musicianship and insight are as outstanding as ever.” Guardian

David Owen Norris is one of the most innovative and brilliant pianists of our generation and the pianist of choice for many world-class singers.
