About

“The Path of Life” is a setting of Schubert songs starting from the joyful sides of life with ups and downs and ending in a slower and more profound tone. An unusual programme performed by young Austrian-Turkish tenor Ilker Arcayürek, one of the most promising Lieder singers of his generation.

Born in Istanbul and raised in Vienna, tenor Ilker Arcayürek has emerged as one of the most exciting and versatile vocal artists in recent years. Hailed by the press for his “golden tenor” (Opera Now magazine) and quickly establishing himself “in a class of his own” (The Guardian). He is a winner of the International Art Song Competition of Germany’s Hugo Wolf Academy, a finalist of the 2015 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World and was a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist.

Simon Lepper read music at King’s College, Cambridge before studying collaborative piano with Michael Dussek at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Specialising in song accompaniment, he has regularly collaborated with singers from across the world and since 2003 has been the official accompanist for the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition.

“Simon Lepper, whose prowess as a pianist is fused with a real sensitivity to words and to the voice, is a rarity indeed.” – The Times
