The Royal Conservatory has just announced its Koerner Hall line up for the 2017/18 season. There are 23 classical and 6 jazz concerts. This doesn’t include the Glenn Gould School or concerts in the RCM’s other halls. Highlights from a vocal point of view are as follows:
November 10th 2017 at 8pm: Barbara Hannigan with Reinbert de Leeuw in a mainly Second Vienna School programme. Not to be missed if that’s your thing and it’s certainly mine.
February 14th 2018 at 8pm: Ian Bostridge with Julius Drake in an all Schubert programme.
April 6th 2018 at 8pm: Bernstein@100; a tribute to Lenny featuring, among others, Wallis Giunta.

April 27th 2018 at 8pm: The Amici Ensemble with Isabel Bayrakdarian and the winners of the GGS chamber music competition. The vocal part of the programme is all Bernstein.
May 10th 2018 at 8pm: Not typical Opera Ramblings fare but worth a mention; Jodi Sarvall, Hespèrion XXI and Galician pipes specialist Carlos Núñez in a program of pipe music from around the western fringes of Europe.
