MENTORS

Over the past decade, inspired by Solti’s values, the GSA has built a reputation for professionalism, rigorous discipline and attention to detail. It is in honour of his memory that many distinguished singers with whom he worked – including Mirella Freni, Kiri Te Kanawa, José Carreras, Leo Nucci, Luciana Serra, Daniela Dessi, Frederica von Stade, Mariella Devia, Thomas Allen and Angela Gheorghiu – have returned to pass on to the next generation the lessons they learnt as young artists.
