Hear one, choose one: Axelle Fanyo invites the audience to curate the perfect programme, from enchanting French music to American song cycles that set your imagination free.
Composers from France and America go head-to-head to win the audience’s affections. The strength of the applause dictates what comes next – will it be music from 20th-century America by Aaron Copland, Edward MacDowell, Florence Price and William Bolcom, or a selection of delightful French songs by André Caplet, Maurice Ravel and Francis Poulenc?
Praised by Renée Fleming for her ‘star quality’, Axelle Fanyo is making her mark on both the opera world and in concert halls as a recitalist. With multiple accolades under her belt including the 2021 Nadia and Lili Boulanger Competition grand prize and the prestigious Kaleidoscope prize, Fanyo is without a doubt an artist on the rise. Tonight she shows us why, as she’s joined by pianist Kunal Lahiry in an audience-led programme featuring a new ECHO commission from Greek composer Sofia Avramidou.
