“Breath of fresh air… stunning”

Tenor Jean-Philippe Lazure is also a new Ensemble member, and absolutely a breath of fresh air; his rendition of "Vainement, ma bien-aimeé" (Le roi d'Ys) was, well, stunning. He sang with an open and honest sound, full of agility and ring and moments of pianissimo singing that nearly tore my heart out (#slain). His presence onstage was as warm as his singing; you really couldn't help but love him. I know Jean-Philippe is a dedicated worker, and he'll be someone to watch in the coming seasons.
