Collini and Partridge - vocals and piano

Classic Entertainments...


...present two stylish artists whose talents and versatility have won them the repeated approval of audiences and critics in theatres and concert halls throughout Great Britain and abroad. Performers in concert seasons and at festivals, the musical rapport between soprano Susanne Collini and pianist Jennifer Partridge is recognised as special and receives regular audience and media acclaim. In addition to their widely successful lighter music programmes, woven around the lives and music of popular 20th century composers, they are also in demand for concerts devoted to the more classical repertoire.

Susanne Collini has a beautifully controlled lyric soprano voice. Susanne has performed as soloist in many of our major concert halls and cathedrals, and earned the plaudits of a growing list of distinguished artists with whom she has worked. Her ability to perform a wide range of musical styles has brought her recognition both in the classical and lighter fields of music. She has also premiered works for a growing number of composers, some of whom have written pieces especially for her. Susanne has travelled to many parts of the world performing music from her eclectic repertoire, and has made several recordings of both classical and light music.

Jennifer Partridge is acknowledged by her fellow musicians as one of the finest piano accompanists. She has earned particular international acclaim for the beautifully balanced musical partnership with her brother, the tenor Ian Partridge. Many of their innumerable recordings and broadcasts of the songs of Fauré, Schumann, Scubert and leading English composers are recognised as benchmarks. As well as her increasingly successful partnership with soprano Susanne Collini, Jennifer has worked all over the world with international solo artists and string ensembles.
