Carolyn Sampson live in London

Experience Carolyn Sampson live on May 16th

Carolyn Sampson is a British soprano renowned for her interpretations of Baroque and Classical repertoire, particularly the works of Handel, Bach, and Mozart. Her performances are frequently praised for their technical precision, expressive phrasing, and clarity of diction. She is also noted for her exploration of lesser-known composers from these periods, bringing renewed attention to their vocal writing. Sampson regularly appears with leading orchestras and ensembles internationally, both in concert and operatic roles.

The concert will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, a prominent venue situated within the Southbank Centre complex in London. Opened in 1967 as part of a wider arts centre project, the Hall was designed by architects Hubert Bennett and Leslie Martin. It is recognised for its modernist architectural style and its acoustic qualities tailored for orchestral and chamber music performances.

Originally conceived as a space for large-scale orchestral concerts and events requiring substantial audience capacity, the Queen Elizabeth Hall has hosted a diverse range of artists across multiple genres throughout its history. It underwent a significant refurbishment completed in 2018 which focused on improving accessibility and enhancing the overall visitor experience while preserving its core architectural identity. The hall continues to be a central location for classical music within London’s cultural landscape.
