Elizabeth Llewellyn & Simon Lepper

Following their award-winning debut album of songs by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Royal Northern College of Music alumna Elizabeth Llewellyn and pianist Simon Lepper perform as part of the RNCM's 50th anniversary celebrations.

Elizabeth’s distinct artistry and smoky timbre have set her apart as one of the leading sopranos of her generation. Coupled with her unwavering commitment to empowering creators from under-represented backgrounds in classical music, Elizabeth and Simon deliver an inspired evening of music, full of hidden gems and old favourites.
