Katharina Konradi sings Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn at Wigmore Hall.

The Kyrgyzstan-born German soprano and current 大象传媒 New Generation Artist is rapidly making a name for herself as one the most distinctive talents in the vocal firmament. Tonight she is joined by the pianist Joseph Middleton for a programme that promises Russian soulfulness and exquisite beauty in songs meditating on childhood. As well as songs by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, the programme includes a world premiere of a work written for Katharina Konradi by the American Lori Laitman.
