Description


The fourth programme in the 2018 season of Music in the Studio features tenor Neil Latchman and pianist Amira Fouad, curaror of the Music in the Studio season on Wednesday 21 April 2018.

The programme includes songs by Tosti, Donizetti and Lecuona for which Latchman has become synonymous.

Neil Latchman​
The international career of the Trinidadian born opera singer Neil Latchman began in 1997 when he was chosen as the tenor to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the life of Maria Callas in London.

In London he has performed as soloist at the Barbican Centre, the Royal Festival Hall, the Wigmore Hall, The London Palladium and St. John’s, Smith Square amongst other venues.

At the Wembley Arena he has performed The American Songbook and Broadway repertoire. In 1998 Neil made his debut withThe Orchestral Soloists of The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden performing the songs of Tchaikowsky and Rimsky-Korsakov.

He is regularly asked to open world events. In 1999, Neil was invited to Kunming, China where he was the tenor soloist in Handel’s Messiah and Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

He also gave recitals of Arias and Songs, including Chinese provincial songs to open Expo ’99. In 2009, he was similarly asked for the Summit of the Americas.

His love of the recital platform has taken him across the world performing the songs of Bellini, Verdi and Donizetti. Given his South American background, the Tangos and Rhumbas of composers such as Lecuona and Cordero have become synonymous with his concert programmes.

In recital, he often collaborates with the Australian pianist, Coady Green,  Spanish pianist Maria Garzon, Egyptian-Canadian pianist Amira Fouad and Japanese pianist Yoshiko.

In recent years, Neil has enjoyed exploring his rich multi-cultural heritage through new works and commissions. With pianist Maria Garzon he has performed the music of Greece, Venezuela, Cuba and Latin America.

Projects have included re-interpreting songs of the Middle East, Iran and India. In his latest CD, Dedication 1, which was released in 2014, Neil recorded some of the folk songs of Trinidad and Tobago, Brazilian pieces by Heitor Villa Lobos, Persian popular songs, Greek folk songs and introduced a Hindi song, Jeena Yahan  from the Bollywood film, Meera Naam Joker.

Recordings include 20 of the songs of Francesco Paolo Tosti at the Wigmore Hall, London with Maria Garzon. 

Amira Fouad
Concert pianist, Amira Fouad enjoys a varied career as a pianist and performs a diverse repertoire for audiences internationally.

Since her London début recital Amira's performing career has taken her on tour to North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.

She has been heard at some of the world's great concert halls including, Bösendorfer Hall in Vienna, the National Concert Hall in Dublin, St. John's Smith Square London, The Cairo Opera House and Victoria Hall in Singapore, to name a few. Amira has been recorded live for CBC Radio in Canada as well as for MBC and LBC Television.

Amira is the founder and artistic director of the Festival of the Nile, a celebration of chamber music repertoire with the aim to develop a cultural exchange of ideas between Egyptian and international artists.

The Festival of the Nile has sponsored the commission of new works by young Egyptian composers and promoted educational and charitable concerts in Egypt and in several European capitals.

Amira has a talent in passing on her gift of music and enjoys directing international masterclasses for young aspiring pianists.

Equally at home with solo and chamber music repertoire, Amira collaborates with various artists and performs as the guest soloist with orchestras such as the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and the Cairo Symphony Orchestra.
