‘The most important thing is to feel you are writing the best music you possibly can. But it’s nice to be busy (but not too busy), to be valued by your peers, and to be appreciated by your audience too.’
Tamsanqa Tylor Lamani, tenor
‘I feel most at home with Verdi. His music speaks to me both vocally and emotionally, it feels like stepping into a natural space where I can fully express myself.’
