    Overview

    Repertoire diversity, tonal variety and sheer virtuosity belong to the special qualities cultivated by Calefax. The Dutch reed ensemble, established in the late 1980s, joins forces for this BBC Lunchtime recital with Cora Burggraaf, recipient of the prestigious 2009/10 ECHO Rising Star Award.

    The mezzosoprano’s career has expanded in recent years to embrace acting roles and works that explore the exciting boundary spaces between music theatre, cabaret and drama.
