Scottish mezzo-soprano and Cardiff Singer of the World Catriona Morison collaborates with Utzon favourite Aura Go in an eloquent duo spanning Brahms, Mahler, Scots and English folk songs, Mendelssohn and Tham.

Two musicians of rare sensitivity collaborate for the first time. Recently crowned Singer of the World in Cardiff’s legendary competition, Scottish mezzo soprano Catriona Morison, has a burnished voice, and a quiet gravitas belying her age.  In the company of poetic Australian pianist, Aura Go, this is an afternoon of consummate music making. 

Expressive songs by Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler’s venerated Rückert Lieder, and Scottish and English folk songs arranged by Benjamin Britten, Claire Liddell, Herbert Howells, Percy Grainger, and Bertha Koopman trace the gamut of human experience. In tranquil relief, are Mendelssohn’s lyrical Songs Without Words and elegant piano solos by Swedish composer Hélène Tham. 

We welcome Catriona for her first visit to Australia and her Utzon Music debut, and we’re delighted to host Utzon favourite Aura Go, returning in glorious company.
