Ana-Carmen Balestra

Fuelled by her Argentinian roots, soprano Ana-Carmen Balestra takes you on a musical journey through life, from the innocence of childhood, through the pangs of love and heartbreaking loss, to the finding of joy in everyday moments. She shares her story through the passionate music of composers like Poulenc, Piazzolla, Mercedes Sosa, and through her own heartfelt lyrics.
