Soprano Ava Reineke Presents Evening of Opera and Art Song in Support of Henley Music School
Classical soprano Ava Reineke will present an evening of opera and art song at The Bottle and Glass Barn, bringing together emerging vocal talent, established musicians and community purpose in a richly varied recital supporting Henley Music School.
Ava Reineke is currently in her final year of undergraduate study at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, where she studies with Sophie Grimmer. Her time at Trinity has included a wide range of performance projects, from improvisation and performance art ensembles to Spanish opera explorations and Nordic opera workshops, reflecting her versatility and growing artistic voice.
Previously, Ava studied for three years at the Junior Royal Academy of Music, where her roles included Hansel in Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, Alma in the world premiere of Green Man Ho, and Yum-Yum in Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado. She has performed in prestigious venues including Cologne Cathedral, Garsington Opera, the Old Naval Chapel, and the Sheldonian Theatre, and most recently appeared with Blackheath Halls Opera as Priestess 2 and Soprano Chorus Leader.
The concert programme will span five languages — German, French, Italian, Spanish and English — and will feature works by Mozart, Wolf, Debussy, Ravel, Puccini, and English composers Liza Lehmann and Libby Larsen. Ava will be joined for duets by Lara Johnson-Perkins, and by violinist Laura Reineke, founder of Henley Music School.
The performance will last approximately one hour, with a 15-minute interval. Audience members will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of bubbly on arrival, with a bar menu available throughout the evening. Guests are warmly encouraged to stay and socialise after the performance.
Ava Reineke was a founding member of Henley Music School, a local charity established to ensure that all children have access to high-quality music education, regardless of background or financial circumstance. At a time when many small arts charities are struggling for funding, Henley Music School continues to champion the belief that the arts are not a luxury, but a vital part of education and wellbeing.
