Barcelona - Oxford Connection
Receiving duets from young Oxford artists at LIFE Victoria has become a tradition, enabling their debut in Spain. Continuing this collaboration with the Oxford International Song Festival, an International Partner of LIFE Victoria, we are making possible the debut of soprano Oksana Lepska alongside Rustam Khanmurzin on piano. The English Festival, for its part, dedicates a full day to LIFE Victoria to mark the centenary of Victoria de los Ángeles. Thus, in 2023, tenor RunZhe Li debuted in the UK with Mar Compte, and Mercedes Gancedo presented a program focused on Granados' Goya-inspired songs with Sholto Kynoch, the Festival Director and pianist; and in 2024, Natalia Labourdette will debut in Oxford.
