CONCERT PREVIEW - SAMLING MASTERCLASS at Sage Gateshead - 26th-29th March 2014

For the past 18 years Samling has attracted the best in the world to its prestigious Masterclass programme for outstanding young classical singers and pianists.

From the 250 plus artists who have benefitted from the residential courses to the world class stars who lead them, North East audiences have been treated to an experience that is usually out of reach, and given the chance to see, close up,  world class performances as they are created.

World renowned North East baritone Sir Thomas Allen will lead Samling’s second Masterclass of 2014, with acclaimed accompanist Malcolm Martineau and the American vocal guru Stephen King, who comes to Samling for the first time from Houston Grand Opera in the United States.
