Online Exclusive: Mariam Batsashvili
The 26-year-old pianist Mariam Batsashvili already ranks among the most promising artists of her generation. She gained international recognition at the 10th Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht 2014. With the start of the 2017/18 season, she became a BBC New Generation Artist and continues to perform at major festivals and concert venues across the UK as part of the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme.
Mariam would have returned to NNF for the third time this year (12 May), she previously performed at the Festival (2018, 2019) as a BBC New Generation Artist.
Hunt & Darton sat down (virtually) with Mariam to talk about her work and live in these strange times.
NNF20 Artist: Reuben Kaye
Reuben Kaye would have performed his beautifully filthy and rib-cracklingly funny Cabaret act in the Adnams Spiegeltent for Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2020. We may not be able to see him live on stage, but Hunt & Darton sat down with the Cabaret superstar for an exclusive Radio Local interview.
Reuben Kaye is an Australian comedy cabaret powerhouse, described by British Theatre Guide as “the evil love child of Liza Minnelli and Jim Carrey”. With an acid wit and casual sensationalism that is simply delicious, Kaye is fast, on the edge and brutally funny. He provides a much needed, hysterically funny, swarovski studded revolt against the ever narrowing views of an increasingly conservative world. Rueben Kaye is what happens when you tell your children they can be anything.
