Vividness and theatricality
‘Mouriz came into her own in these ethereal and at times starkly dramatic works; her opening attack... was astonishing in its vividness and theatricality’
Spanish mezzo-soprano Clara Mouriz has established herself as a versatile performer, who is equally at home in recital, opera and on the orchestral stage. A former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, she was mentored by Joyce DiDonato and Felicity Lott as a recipient of the Wigmore Hall / Independent Opera Fellowship, and has also received the International Handel Competition Audience Price and the honorary title of ‘Associate of the Royal Academy of Music’ in London.
She made her Wigmore Hall debut under the auspices of the Kirckman Concert Society in 2007 and has returned there regularly. An outstanding recitalist, Clara has appeared in radio broadcasts and at concert halls across Europe and North America, alongside a number of leading pianists including Joseph Middleton, Julius Drake, Graham Johnson, Simon Lepper, Malcolm Martineau, Melvyn Tan and Roger Vignoles. She is also one of the founding members of the Myrthen Ensemble, and has recorded for Signum alongside Mary Bevan, Allan Clayton, Marcus Farnsworth and Joseph Middleton.
