From the Crush Room at the Royal Ballet and Opera House in London’s Covent Garden, Georgia Mann presents the annual New Year concert showcasing members of the Â鶹Éç’s New Generation Artists scheme. Now in its 25th year, the NGA scheme supports and nurtures some of the world’s finest young instrumentalists, singers and ensembles at the start of their international careers, through performance and broadcast opportunities.

Today’s line-up includes the scheme’s first ever accordionist, Ryan Corbett. A wonderful collaborator as well as soloist, he’s joined by New Zealand born multi-award-winning violinist Geneva Lewis in music by Fritz Kreisler as you’ve never heard it before. Uruguayan-born tenor Santiago Sanchez is equally at home in opera and song, and has been praised for the beauty and warmth of his tone. And completing the line-up, British jazz sensation Emma Rawicz – saxophonist, bandleader and all-round force to be reckoned with… expect fireworks!
