A modern musical traversal of the Silk Road ranging from the Middle Ages to the present, this compelling program reflects the artists' own "in-between" identities, as each grew up in the West with roots in the East. Karim Sulayman has been lauded for his "lucid, velvety tenor and pop-star charisma" (BBC Music Magazine). "[Sean] Shibe's music-making is masterful, beautiful and convincing in every way" (The Times, UK).
Lebanese-American tenor Karim Sulayman has garnered international attention as a sophisticated and versatile artist, consistently praised for his sensitive and intelligent musicianship, riveting stage presence, and beautiful voice. The 2019 Best Classical Solo Vocal Grammy(R) Award winner, he continues to earn acclaim for his programming and recording projects, while regularly performing on the world's stages in opera, orchestral concerts, recital and chamber music.
A former BBC New Generation Artist, Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship 2012 winner, Royal Philharmonic Society 2018 Young Artist Award winner and recipient of the 2022 Leonard Bernstein Award, Sean Shibe continues to prove himself a truly original mind at the frontier of contemporary classical music. This season sees him premiere new concertos by Cassandra Miller and Oliver Leith, as well as tour Thomas Ades's first work for a non-keyboard solo instrument. He also appears in recital at iconic venues across Europe including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie de Paris, Konzerthaus Wien and Wigmore Hall as he takes up the title of ECHO Rising Star.
