About
Barbara Hannigan, a Grammy award-winning artist at the forefront of creation, leads an ensemble of outstanding young musicians from the Royal Academy of Music and The Juilliard School. Since 2002, the Academy and The Juilliard School, both international leaders in their field, have enjoyed a special and fruitful friendship based on 20 years of performances, exchanges and recordings. In this latest collaboration, Hannigan directs students from both institutions in an all-Stravinsky programme, including the Octet, Dumbarton Oaks, Ragtime and Three Japanese Lyrics. Recently appointed the Reinbert de Leeuw Professor of Music at the Academy, Hannigan conducts this transatlantic group in a wonderfully intelligent and engaging programme of Stravinsky's most iconic ensemble repertoire.

Hannigan and her players breathe with the music, not overworking the texture but keeping it light and airy...Alexandra Heath is balanced as a colleague rather than soloist, but her cutglass Japanese, Russian and infant babble (in the first of the Three Little Songs) draw sharp profiles in the little song-cycles

...the ensemble, made up of students from both institutions, is clearly a very capable one. Conducted by Barbara Hannigan, they bring a nicely abrasive edge to Dumbarton Oaks, and a sinewy vigour to Ragtime, which is lent a real tang by the prominence of the cimbalom…
