I am a pianist-singer seeking to collaborate with another singer to perform songs mainly from the 20s and 30s.
I am looking for someone who sings in a style that is generally 'classical' in approach, and appropriate to styles of singing in the 20s and 30s---but not necessarily someone with classical training. The most important quality I'm looking for is the ability to sing in tune! Some of the songs demand a reasonably high/lighter voice (mezzo soprano or tenor).
I have the idea of a duet called 'Dolores and Percy', which will involve a bit of acting (although the music will be the focus). Dolores is flirty and inconstant, while Percy (me) is mildly inhibited and serious-minded. They argue but somehow the music comes off...
I would like to consider putting on this 'act' at the Edinburgh Festival. If this interests you do get in touch!

This blog shares my activities as a pianist, harpsichordist, teacher and singer in Edinburgh, Scotland. I welcome enquiries if you are looking for a pianist or harpsichordist for your exam, recital, evening of entertainment. I studied as a musicologist, and as a writer specialise in baroque music (I am the chap who recently discovered a Vivaldi flute concerto in a Scottish archive!). As a performer my interests range widely from Monteverdi to interwar 'light' music and much in between.
