𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Marcus Farnsworth
July 10th - We’re pleased to introduce the baritone Marcus Farnsworth, who is one of the wonderful artists performing at . Many of you will already know Marcus as Director of the Southwell Music Festival, and we are excited that he will perform alongside the Villiers Quartet in a concert of Caroline Shaw’s “By & By” for voice and string quartet on July 10th at St Mary's Church, Nottingham.
Marcus performs in opera, concert and recital around the world. He has appeared as a principal artist with opera companies in the UK and abroad including English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Bergen National Opera, and Teatro Real Madrid. Equally at home on the concert platform, Marcus has performed and recorded extensively with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Gabrieli Consort, and Aurora Orchestra. He is also a keen recitalist and an advocate for new music. He has given recitals at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, La Monnaie, the Oxford International Song Festival, and the Wigmore Hall.
It’s a joy to spotlight local Nottingham talent, especially as Marcus lives in Southwell with his family. He is a keen cook and consumer of food, and enjoys cycling and hiking, both of which are good for working off all that food!
