As a musician’s instrumental proficiency develops, so too does their artistic taste and temperament. Each ANAM musician’s recital is a snapshot in time – simultaneously summarising their year of training and revealing glimpses of their future selves. What music excites them? What do they want to communicate? How does their art help them understand the world better? Hear what the next generation of virtuosi have to say, and how, in the 2026 ANAM Recital series.
Tipping Point
"What have we done? What do we have to loose? How can we move forward after devastating news? Recent climate reports have shown that we are going to overshoot our goal of limiting global warming temperatures to no more than 1.5 degrees. This has the potential to push us over tipping points that we may never recover from. despite this, it is not the end, there is still a lot of hope, and we mustn't give up!
Inspired by these 3 questions above, this programme explores themes of human nature, wildlife and elements of the natural world, loss, and moving forward in life despite global challenges." — Ciaran Wright
