In the 26/27 season, GRAMMY Award-winning mezzo Fleur Barron appears as the soloist for the Nobel Prize Concert with Sir Antonio Pappano and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic in a new work by Hannah Kendall -- a piece they also perform with the London Symphony Orchestra. Closely identified with the music of Mahler, Fleur performs Das Lied von der Erde multiple times: with the L.A. Philharmonic in a staged version with Esa-Pekka Salonen and Peter Sellars; the Czech Philharmonic and Daniel Harding; the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Jaime Martin; the Spanish National Orchestra and Josep Pons; and the Royal Ballet Covent Garden. Fleur also tours Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder with the Mahler Academy Orchestra. Further symphonic engagements in 26/27 include Berio’s Folksongs on tour with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano. Fleur returns to Ravel’s Schéhérazade with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and sings Lili Boulanger’s Faust et Hélène with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under Daniel Harding. In addition, Fleur tours with the Hong Kong Philharmonic in a program of Falla and Bizet. Fleur’s 26/27 operatic engagements include a staged Mozart’s Requiem at Opéra de Bordeaux, and leading roles in two world premieres by regular collaborator Bryce Dessner at Theater Basel and at various European festivals. Fleur's 26/27 diary also features a 6-city U.S. recital tour, and multiple appearances at Wigmore Hall.
