Artists

Following his Opening Recital of the Festival, we are delighted to welcome British baritone Sir Simon Keenlyside to lead the first of our Festival Masterclasses. Keenlyside’s illustrious career has included performing in the world’s most prestigious concert halls and opera houses in a varied array of roles and repertoire, as well as amassing a critically acclaimed discography. Members of our 2027 Leeds Song Young Artists programme will benefit from his experience and expertise as they explore a selection of song repertoire together.
