Caroline Macphie (soprano) and                 Simon Lane (piano)

Programme to include Benjamin Britten’s Poet’s Echo set to poems by Pushkin, Fiançailles pour rire by Poulenc and songs by Rodrigo and Frank Bridge

Caroline will tour with Scottish Opera’s production of ‘Carmen’ in autumn 2010, and Rupert Christiansen of The Daily Telegraph wrote “my personal favourite was the Lancashire born Caroline MacPhie. Her light-lyric instrument was clean-toned and perfectly tuned, and she delivered an enterprisingly original programme with flair, style and musical imagination.”
