Emerging Concert Artist mezzo-soprano Elisabeth Cooper joins well-known Australian pianist John Martin to present their favourite Art Songs. A musical journey awaits with a kaleidoscope of songs from composers Wittman & Shaiman, Esther Rofe, Calvin Bowman, John Martin, Benjamin Britten Arr., Gabriel Faure, Eric Satie and Francis Poulenc.
Elizabeth Cooper is a Sydney-based mezzo-soprano with a strong passion for the stage and bringing people together through music. As a 2022 and 2023 Young Artist with Pacific Opera, Libby performed some roles with the company across these seasons, including Rosina (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Adina (L’elisir d’amore), Suor Genovieffa (Suor Angelica), Belinda (Dido and Aeneas) and Second Lady (Die Zauberflöte). Most recently, she returned to perform with Jane Rutter and John Martin for a second year for their Live at Lunch series and appeared with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra as a soloist at their Last Night of the Proms. She aspires to a long future of bringing classical music to the community and, of course, having a lot of fun doing it!
John Martin’s work is familiar to concertgoers and listeners of Australia’s classical radio networks. He has been featured on ABC Classic FM’s Drive Time segment “On the Verandah”, which is frequently broadcast. In addition, his 2013 release on the Wirripang label “The Ring of New Bells” — a collection of Miriam Hyde’s piano works — were extensively broadcast. John has been a frequent adjudicator for music competitions, and his guidance and mentoring abilities mean that he is also kept busy working with aspiring young performers, something very close to his heart! John is also gaining a reputation as a fine composer, having published 60 works.
