Lenneke Ruiten


This tour will present the young and brilliant Dutch soprano Lenneke Ruiten to Irish audiences for the first time, performing in six venues throughout the country with Finghin. Lenneke and Finghin met at the Delft International Chamber Music Festival in 2005, where they were both hailed by the newspapers as significant discoveries. A diverse and attractive programme of European art-songs by Mozart, Strauss, Poulenc, Duparc and Turina will be performed. The tour has been supported by Music Network's Performance and Touring Award and the Arts Council. Find out more about Lenneke here
