Georgia Burashko

In this program Beauty Awake, Canadian mezzo-soprano Georgia Burashko sings about some of life's major themes: childhood, love, heartache and eternity. Her diverse anthology ranges from English-language songs from the Elizabethan Renaissance to the High Baroque and much later. Works by Karmit Fadael and Dolly Parton are also featured. An ensemble of two gambas and a lute accompany her on this journey through four centuries of beauty.

The jury wrote about Georgia Burashko's program: 'She has put together a beautiful and fascinating program with a good sense of drama.' That sense of drama serves her well. Georgia has since sung several opera roles and was discovered by Les Arts Florissants. In the 2023-2024 season she will go on a world tour with this ensemble with Purcell's The Fairy Queen.
