Jenny Lind - For One Night Only

Hailed as ‘astonishing and luminous’ (Bachtracks), soprano April Fredrick loves words and stories and the way that they fire composers’ imaginations and the audience’s imagination in turn, connecting us with those who have come before. She is a frequent soloist with orchestras across the UK including the RPO, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and a champion of new work on both the concert and opera stage. She is also an Associate Artist with the English Symphony Orchestra, with whom she performs regularly.
