Lisette Oropesa, soprano
I’ve always been a singer, as my whole family is full of musicians of different types. I knew music was my journey but wasn’t sure how exactly to focus it; I wanted to be a singer/songwriter for a while, then a flutist, and now I’m really glad that I began to pursue a career in opera.
Jenni Pinnock, composer
I have been improvising and composing as long as I’ve been making music. I knew from very early on that I’d like to make music my career but didn’t know how feasible it was. Meanwhile, I found music appeared in my head and loved writing it down.
Gwendolyn Masin, violinist
Who or what inspired you to take up the violin, and pursue a career in music? My family and surroundings were and are the inspiration.
Albion Quartet, string quartet
The holy grail is to feel that intangible energy and concentration from the audience as a response to the music. As musicians we aspire to feel that the music is passing through us unimpeded and undiluted.
