Emily D’Angelo & Sophia Muñoz listing on Broadway Baby

Join mezzo soprano Emily D'Angelo and pianist Sophia Muoz for a programme of epic scope that explores humanity's connection to the natural world.

Canadian mezzo-soprano Emily DAngelo is known for her eclectic repertoire, and this recital with pianist Sophia Muoz is no exception. DAngelo brings her wondrous and powerful (The New York Times) voice to songs woven together by the theme of the natural world.

This is a programme of epic scope, travelling from mountains with Bla Bartk to the desert with Jeanine Tesori and gardens with Rebecca Clarke and Alma Mahler. There is Scottish-Irish folksong by Francis McPeake, and DAngelos homeland is represented in music by Canadian composer Walter MacNutt. Throughout, images of nature and their musical settings symbolise human emotions and experiences: love, longing, home.

Sophia Muoz regularly collaborates with Emily DAngelo, a musical partnership that has drawn praise in Opera News for Muozs gorgeous pianistic colours and DAngelos luscious chest voice, dramatic pacing and technical command.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
