Artist in Association
Irish Chamber Orchestra (ICO) is delighted to announce acclaimed Irish Mezzo Soprano Sharon Carty as our inaugural Artist in Association for the 23/24 concert season.
As Artist in Association, I have a wonderful opportunity to get to know the orchestra, a new audience, a community and find ways to be helpful within it. I’m looking forward to exploring these connections and being of artistic service to the orchestra, its music lovers, and to making great music with ICO.
Irish mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty is a singer who has firmly established a reputation as a respected interpreter of both early and contemporary works, alongside maintaining a busy schedule in mainstream opera and concert repertoire.
A regular collaborator with orchestras across Europe, her discography includes La Traviata on Naxos DVD with the NDR Radiophilharmonie alongside Thomas Hampson and Marina Rebeka as well as The Mountebanks (Gilbert/Cellier) on CD with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Sharon will perform twice in our 2023/24 season, showing further facets of her artistic personality as she captivates her audiences with her enthusiasm and technical brilliance. She will also undertake singing workshops with our young ICO Schools students during her residency with us. This will provide the schools and students with the experience of working collaboratively with a professional singer in the classroom.
