Open Session: Orlando

Join mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska and guitarist Sean Shibe as they share early explorations from their new collaborative project Orlando.

Developed during a Britten Pears Arts Residency, Orlando traces the legendary troubadour’s journey across centuries and continents, from the medieval Chanson de Roland to Ariosto’s epic poem, and Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking 1928 novel.

Through a bold and imaginative programme, the duo explores themes of love, conflict, and identity, weaving together works by Schubert, Glanert, Adès, and others, alongside newly commissioned pieces by Sasha Scott and Cassandra Miller.
