Mezzo-soprano Sally-Anne Russell is the new co-Artistic Director of the revitalised Albury Chamber Music Festival, sharing the leadership with conductor, Mario Dobernig. Together they are preparing for their first festival, themed ‘The Year of the Voice’. Running 4-6 November, the festival will offer 10 concerts over three days across three venues.
‘What appeals to me about presenting chamber music is the intimacy of the concerts. Our venues hold a maximum of 100 people, which allows musicians and audiences to connect, encouraging interaction. In my experience as a performer, audiences really enjoy the up-close connection that chamber music concerts offer,’ she tells ArtsHub.
