Masterclass with Julius Drake
Outcry Ensemble Autumn Concert
Julius Drake, well-known to Temple Music Foundation audiences for his Temple Song recitals over the last twelve years, will lead a masterclass for young singers and pianists from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in this first event of the autumn. While the young performers will benefit from Julius’ fine interpretive skills and the experience gained from many years accompanying international recitalists, the audience will be given a fascinating insight into how performances are shaped.
