On Monday 23rd March, Aileen Thomson (soprano soloist and friend of our Rektor) gave a recital of English music in the auditorium to a large group of students and staff. She rehearsed over the course of the weekend and was accompanied by Christina Pavlaki (Greece), Alexis Bjørksten (Sweden) and Kåre Sandvik (Norway). Aileen’s recital consisted of songs from Purcell to Handel, from Vaughan Williams to Madeleine Dring, spanning over five centuries – for the programme notes, please click here. We are hugely grateful to Aileen for volunteering to perform here at UWC RCN whilst she was here on campus on holiday.
