Soprano Claire Booth is internationally renowned for her dedication to a vast repertoire, as well as the vitality and musicianship that she brings to the stage. Opera highlights include the title roles in Handel's Berenice for the Royal Opera and Janacek's Cunning Little Vixen for Garsington Opera, and her concert appearances have resulted in close associations with the BBC orchestras, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Claire has also collaborated with Pierre Boulez, Gustavo Dudamel and Yannick Nezet-Seguin, to name a few, and has premiered nearly 100 works over the course of her career so far.Claire's 2024 activity has focused on celebrating Schoenberg in his 150th anniversary year, with performances of a whole range of his works, and two albums centred around his music: 'Expressionist Music' with Christopher Glynn, released in May, and 'Pierrot Portraits' with Ensemble 360, released last Friday, with Pierrot Lunaire at its heart.In this episode, Claire talks more about her longstanding relationship with Pierrot Lunaire, and how the new album came to be; plus the eclectic career she's forged for herself, and how her recent Masters in Cultural Policy and Management has given her an even broader perspective on the industry as a whole. Claire also talks about the time she underwent surgery for pre-nodules, not being able to speak for a month, and wondering whether she would be able to sing again.-------------------Claire's links:WebsiteInstagram-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Country lawyer Claire Booth has worked with farming families on succession and estate planning for over a decade. She's seen the best and the worst of it. Inspired by the mistakes she's seen farming families make, and the financial fall out of these decisions, she applied for and was awarded a Nuffield Research Scholarship. Claire's research went deep on the relationship between succession planning and a business's bottom line. Talking with families all around the world who are running farming businesses, she discovered how a clear succession plan fostered happier family relationships, a positive work culture, and a thriving and profitable business. In this episode she shares these secret ingredients. Propagate is brought to you by the Young Farmer Business Program, an initiative of the NSW Department of Primary Industries
Today I am talking to soprano Emily Thorner who specialises in contemporary classical music but is also the CEO of moon rising, her company where she helps people as an intuitive healer. In our chat we talk about various issues, highlighting similarities between growing as an artist through the process of learning and performing music to the process of healing and being fulfilled in life.International "ultra-soprano" (Second Inversion, WA, USA) and "new music rising star" (The Stranger, WA, USA) Emily Thorner is rapidly making her mark as a soloist in contemporary chamber ensembles, orchestras, and modern operas. Known for her command of stratospheric high notes, Ms. Thorner is highly sought-after for world premieres due to her unusual range and fearless virtuosity. Recent performances have included: Acht Brücken festival in Cologne (on WDR radio), Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme at Snape Maltings in the UK with Jessica Cottis and Claire Booth, the Donaueschinger Musiktage with Deutsche Kammerchor, Seattle, USA, singing a world premiere with Kin of the Moon, Gladbeck, Germany performing with the Duisberg Philharmonic and Chorwerk Ruhr for the Ruhrtiennale festival, and in Italy, singing as the Soprano Soloist for "Hotel Paradiso" by Benedict Mason with TransArt under the baton of Clement Power.Additionally, she has also performed in Boston and New York for a double performance of Rumpelstiltskin with Guerilla Opera as The Miller, which has been recorded for Navona Records, the classical label of PARMA records, and Sisa in Noli Me Tangere, which featured her in a mad scene in the Tagalog language. In 2018-2020, she will have made appearances in the United States (Boston, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Seattle), England, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, and Austria. Ms. Thorner recently was one of only two vocalists during the Bang on a Can New Music Festival and sang at Impuls Festival in Graz, Austria. She is the second-prize winner of The 2019 North International Music Competition and has been invited to sing in the Aldeburgh Festival (UK) in 2020 as well as SPLICE festival 3 (USA). She was also the first soprano in twenty years to take part in the new music course of the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme and her entrepreneurial spirit has led her to put together STATE OF BEING, a world tour written for her voice and electronics beginning late 2020. Upcoming world premieres written for her voice include collaborations with composers Julianna Hall (USA), Max Hundelshausen (DE), Alex Mills (UK), James Joslin (UK), Rob Laidlow (UK), Martyna Kosecka (Norway/Poland), Kaley Lane Eaton (USA), Anthony R. Green (USA/NL), and Rita Ueda (Canada).Ms. Thorner released her first album on Itunes with ensemble Kin of the Moon for "FUNERAL SENTENCES FOR DAMAGED CELLS" in 2020. On the radio and in the media, she and has been heard on Wartburg Radio with choir Canto Armonico, MDR in Dresden performing an excerpt of Die Entführung aus dem Serail by Mozart, icareifyoulisten.com (USA) and had an article written about her during Bang on a Can in newsounds.org (USA). A featured soloist with Sound Icon in Boston, she recorded the US premiere of Wolfgang Rihm's Frage, known for its impossibly high tessitura of over twenty-two high F's and beyond. Past collaborations with contemporary chamber ensembles include: Hub New Music, Boston Musica Viva, and Sound Energy at the New Music Gathering as well as performances with recording choir Vox Futura, the Grammy award-winning Hans Zimmer International Tour, and New Hampshire Music Festival.www.emily-thorner.comwww.moon-rising.comInstagram: @emilythornersopranoTwitter: @ThornerEmily

You’ve heard that winning isn’t everything but deep down you know that isn’t true. Striving to be the best is how you keep your edge. In the last episode, I discussed the self-help industry’s positive thinking problem. In today’s episode of the Happier Approach, I discuss with Clair Booth, author of The Achiever Fever Cure: How I Learned to Stop Striving Myself Crazy, what it takes to start flourishing without being a high achiever. Claire was a successful but stressed-out market research entrepreneur and executive suffering from what she calls "achiever fever"—constant striving coupled with chronic feelings of inadequacy. Sick and tired of feeling miserable--but ever the self-help skeptic--Claire decided to try anything that might bring relief, from mindfulness to martial arts, from spending ten days in silence to "smiling" at her spleen. At first, Claire was fearful that slowing down and softening up will mean losing her professional edge. Instead, she discovered a more joyful and purposeful life, one that also turns out to be good for business. Listen to the full episode to hear Claire and I discuss: What Achiever Fever is and how to know if we have it The dark side of being a high achiever Identifying and naming our inner judge Meditation and the life-changing act of chopping vegetables The connection between alcohol and anxiety Living life as opposed to just logging life And what we gain when we give up the Achiever Fever Find out more about Claire Booth and the Achiever Fever at claireboothauthor.com.

Claire Booth joins host Ethan Astaneh on the Wealth Exchange podcast. Claire is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author of new book, The Achiever Fever Cure: How I Learned to Stop Striving Myself Crazy.

And that downside is when we start to tie our self-worth and our happiness to our achievements.

What happens when the composer that you've commissioned to write a new opera says to you, "Sit down -- I have something to tell you," and that something is that she's fallen in love... with a beatbox artist? The first Opera for All Voices (OFAV) commission, Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun, is scheduled to premiere in the Fall of 2019 and this episode is a very early look at the creative process of Grammy Award winning composer, Augusta Read Thomas. We get a deep dive into how she "sculpts sound" to create magic, and how collaboration is such a crucial element in the way she composes new work. The collaboration gets even livelier as we meet renowned beat-box artist, founder of Drop The Beats, and actor Nicole Paris, who plays an integral role in the original soundscaping of this new opera. Listen in and fall in love for yourself. *** Special music in this episode used with permission by Augusta Read Thomas. Helix Spirals for String Quartet: Mvt. I. Loci, memory palace.
