Passing the Baton – Investing in the Next Generation
What does the future hold for young artists? Join James Baillieu and Ryan Wigglesworth as they discuss their aspirations for the next generation of performers.
In 2026 James Bailleau and Ryan Wigglesworth begin a 3-year tenure as Associate Directors of the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme. The aim is to build academies in which young, aspiring artists can flourish, and we'll consider how important this venture is at a difficult time for the arts.
Join us for this fascinating discussion about how we can best serve the next generation of performers, with an overview of our plans for the duration of their time with us.
