Clara Barbier Serrano – 2020-2022 Bocelli-Jameel scholar – stars in a trio alongside saxophonist Robert Finegan and pianist Joanna Kacperek at the ‘Rising stars’ concert of the West Wicklow Chamber Festival in Ireland on 10 May 2025.
The recital, entitled ‘Paris chapters’, is inspired by Irish writers in Paris, weaving together the poetry of Yeats, Joyce and Wilde with music by Parisian icons Francis Poulenc and Josephine Baker.
Launched in 2019, the Andrea Bocelli Foundation-Community Jameel scholarship supports full-time students at the Royal College of Music (RCM) in London, the world’s top conservatoire for performing arts.
The RCM awards the scholarship to students on the basis of merit, assessed at audition, and on their need for financial support.
