Julia Bullock & Bretton Brown
  • Edinburgh International Festival

American soprano Julia Bullock and pianist Bretton Brown perform a range of inspiring and empowering songs.

American soprano Julia Bullock and pianist Bretton Brown perform songs that span a broad spectrum of eras and genres " from Wolf to Weill. The concert culminates in music by blues pioneers Lovie Austin, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone.

Bullock is acclaimed for communicating intense, authentic feeling, as if she were singing right from her soul (Opera News). Nowhere is this soulful authenticity more apparent than in her choice of repertoire for this recital. These songs are empowering and provocative, amplifying the voices of women from Schuberts Suleika to Connie Converse, whose hauntingly beautiful songs are heard in new arrangements by another of Bullocks collaborators, Jeremy Siskind.

With Bullocks rich, agile voice and Browns sensitive pianism, this is an inspiring celebration of diverse styles and perspectives, unified by the power of song.

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.

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.
