St George’s April 26
concert to feature two distinguished young singers
William Dutton
(13), BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year 2006, and Adam
Urosevic (15), ex-member of the Vienna Boys’ Choir and now a
Music Scholar at Harrow School in London, will star in the
7:30pm concert at St George’s Church, High Street, Belfast,
on April 26.
A chorister of St
Mark’s Church, Harrogate, William Dutton has broadcast
regularly for BBC Radio 2 and 4. He has sung with José
Carreras in his Royal Albert Hall Christmas concert and in
the BBC Proms as treble soloist in Fauré’s Requiem,
and his recent engagements have included oratorio and opera
performances in partnership with the UK’s leading soloists,
orchestras, conductors and celebrities. He has recently been
signed by Universal Classics and Jazz as a member of the
well-known group The Choirboys managed by Aled Jones;
their début album was released before Christmas. William is
also a violinist and studies with Raimonda Koko. He is a
member of the National Children’s Orchestra. In 2006 he was
awarded a NCO-Leverhulme Trust Scholarship in recognition of
his exceptional talent, and in the same year sang the part
of Miles in Benjamin Britten's opera The Turn of the
Screw for the National Reisopera of The Netherlands. His
other hobbies include football and wildlife.
Adam Urosevic
(15) is no stranger to Northern Ireland, having sung at St
George’s and in Armagh in an International Concert in
February 2006 while still a boy soprano of the world-famous
Vienna Boys’ Choir, and again in St George’s at Christmas
2007 just before his voice change. He has had an illustrious
career, performing as a soloist with the Choir across the
world – in China, Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and
the USA, as well as in many European and Central Asian
countries. He regularly sang in the Vienna Imperial Court
Chapel, in the Vienna Musikverein, and in the Vienna State
Opera as one of the Three Boys in Mozart’s Magic Flute.
He won the top music scholarship for voice and piano and the
Senior Prize for Singing at the famous Harrow School in
London, where he now gives concerts and has lessons with
celebrated Scottish tenor Mark Wilde. Adam’s most recent
achievement has been as soprano soloist on six of the
thirteen tracks of the Vienna Boys' Choir's 2007 CD I am
from Austria (Koch Universal 06025 1706568). He also
plays the piano, flute and guitar.
The programme of
the concert will include songs by Bach, Handel, Mozart,
Schubert and some modern and contemporary composers. Piano
accompanists will be Mr Theo Saunders, Organist and Master
of the Choristers at St Patrick’s Church of Ireland
Cathedral, Armagh, and Professor Arthur Noble, UK and
European Representative of the annual World Choral Festivals
with the Vienna Boys’ Choir. Master of Ceremonies will be Mr
Stephen Beet, voice coach and author of the CD series The
Better Land – Great Boy Sopranos of the 20th
Century. Tickets (full £10, concession £7.50 and
children £5) will be available at the door of the church,
and refreshments will be served in the church hall
