All about the show
Come and hear the North East’s brightest young voices as the new Samling Academy cohort take to the stage. Handpicked by audition from schools and universities from the Tweed to the Tees, these singers have spent six days immersed in coaching with world-class tutors, opera stars, and stagecraft experts.
Now they’re ready to share an afternoon of solos, duets, and ensembles, from much-loved classics to exciting new discoveries. At the piano are Samling Artist Programme alumni, bringing even more brilliance to the performance.
