The Claire Powell Trio classic American songbook Claire Powell, soprano voice Klaus Moerth, saxes, clarinet, bass clarinet Marius Stieghorst, piano Claire Powell è nata in Inghilterra ed ha origini spagnole e della Cornovaglia. Ha iniziato la sua carriera professionistica a soli 14 anni cantando nei club di musica folk; proprio in questo periodo un maestro di canto le suggerì una formazione classica. Ha studiato alla prestigiosa Royal Academy of Music a Londra dove vinse una borsa di studio per il London Opera Centre. Il suo vero debutto avvenne alla Royal Opera House, sempre a Londra, dove ha continuato la sua carriera con ruoli come Eboli in "Don Carlo", Dalila in "Samson and Dalila", Orlofsky in "Die Fledermaus" e tanti altri. Pur avendo girato il mondo esibendosi nelle sale più prestigiose, Claire non ha mai dimenticato le sue "radici" e ha accolto con piacere l'invito del Blues to Bop dove verrà accompagnata da due colleghi, Marius Stieghorst and Kurt Mörth, anche loro di formazione classica. La bellezza della sua voce, la sua dinamica presenza e l'entusiasmo con cui lei e i suoi giovani colleghi hanno riletto le pagine storiche gershwiniane e le canzoni di Cole Porter porteranno qualcosa di nuovo tra i mille volti del Festival. Claire was born in the UK and is of Spanish and Cornish ancestry. She started singing professionally in folk clubs at the age of 14. At the time her ambition was to become 'a song and dance lady' and an actress. She was heard by a professor of singing who suggested that she should have her voice trained classically. Claire still hasn't worked out if that was a good thing or a bad thing! She studied piano, double bass and voice at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London and later won a scholarship to the London Opera Centre, from where she made her debut at the Royal Opera House. She has since sung there regularly throughout her career; Eboli in "Don Carlo", Dalila in "Samson and Dalila", Orlofsky in "Die Fledermaus" and many others. Her colleagues include Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Monserrat Caballe and the late Freddie Mercury. Despite spending most of her career in opera theatres around the world she has never forgotten her 'club' roots and welcomed the invitation to Lugano where she is appearing with Marius Stieghorst and Kurt Mörth, like herself classically trained musicians. The beauty and power of her voice, her dramatic presence on stage and the grace if her interpretations of the American songbook will add a new dimension to the Blues to Bop experience.  back
