New Horizons Duo

New Horizons Duo In his spare time, he enjoys composing and arranging lesser known music and dealing with divas like Beth.

Brand new Glasgow based duo, Beth Taylor (Mezzo-Soprano) and Michal Gajzler (Piano) are delighted to be welcomed by Live Music Now Scotland Artist Scheme 2018-2021 Beth Taylor, Scottish Mezzo-Soprano and Polish pianist Michal Gajzler are two close friends, forming the New Horizons Duo, bringing high quality performances-to those who wish to hear them! Beth Taylor trained as a classical singer for

six years at the RCS, where she met Michal and gave him a heck of a hard time (and continues to do so), drawing repertoire from across the centuries and languages around the globe. Her solo engagements take her all over Europe’s opera houses, concert halls and Zoom meeting rooms, but she equally enjoys spending time at home in Glasgow working in the community and collaborating with new musicians, whether they are seasoned professionals, singing along or picking up an instrument for the first time. Michal Gajzler, born and raised in Poland, recently graduated with an MMus in repetiteurship at the RCS, after having graduated with an MMus in piano performance at the Krakow Academy of Music and an MA in musicology at the Jagiellonian University, Krakow… He’s really quite clever! As well as performing several complete operatic works as a pocket piano orchestra, Michal also works as an accompanist and vocal coach for distinguisged singers and choirs in Glasgow. New Horizons Duo joined Live Music Now Scotland in 2019, putting together concerts and workshops in schools, carehomes and art galleries so far and look forward to whatever new musical adventures and collaborations come their way

We had an absolute blast performing Gustav, Alma Mahler and Britten on the final episode of ”Classics Unwrapped” on BBC Radio Scotland, presented by the irreplaceable Jamie MacDougall. 🌟

It was a moment of bittersweet affection and a chance to remeber fondly the incredible legacy the show has given musicians and listeners of Scotland over the years. We wish the presenters and production team all the very best in the future endeavours. ❤ We will miss you! ❤

You can still listen to the show following the link below!

A happy wee throwback to November 2019, finishing our mini Scottish Tour in Dunoon. Over the course of the four concerts, we’d performed to just shy of 1000 people- hard to imagine! 😀

We’re so looking forward to getting back to more regular live concerts and getting some exciting new programmes together.

Any requests you’re desperate to hear? 🙂 🙂 🙂

Something a little less known on this side of the pond this evening and a fitting moment of reflection as we commemorate a whole year since the UK went into national lockdown.

“Hard Times Come Again No More” by Stephen Foster.

All revealed soon in our upcoming video concert for the National Galleries of Scotland. 🙂

P.S. Our last clip was an extract from Brahms’ “An Eine Aölsharfe” and one of Beth’s favourite songs ever 😉

Thank you all for your lovely comments 🙂

Annnnd we’re back!!!

We’ve been a bit quiet recently, what with a pandemic and all!

But happily, we’ve both managed to keep very busy indeed with preparing a huge amount of new repertoire both within and outside of our duo sets and getting ready for a brighter and more musical year ahead!

The piano is tuned and the voice is warmed up and we’re raring to go!!! 😀

We can’t wait to share with you all things we’ve recently been up and the projects that will hopefully be going ahead very soon!

Remember to follow us on Twitter , if you haven’t already done so 🙂
