LISTEN TO PATRICIA ROZARIO AS FEATURED ON 103.2 DUBLIN CITY FM - PROGRAM AIR DATE 16th OCTOBER 2010

 

PATRICIA ROZARIO, OBE - the Mumbai born Goan British Soprano is featured on Offbeat, with special focus on her recordings for the Louth Contemporary Music Society. Later in the program, Patricia talks to Karishmeh about her childhood in Mumbai, her first singing teacher, leaving India to study at the Guildhall, and about establishing proper music teaching programs for students in India. Listeners who are familiar with Patricia's recordings of the music of Arvo Part and Sir John Tavener are in for a treat as the soprano tells us how both composers began working with her and writing for her. Patricia has worked with the Louth Contemporary Music Society and she discusses her connection with Ireland. This is the first full-length Irish radio special devoted entirely to one of the world's most prolific artists, and when you hear the program you'll see what makes Ms Rozario such a hard act to follow - she is completely free of the self-importance and arrogance that plagues so many of the world's most gifted singers.
