When Claire Habbershaw started out on her thrilling journey to become an acclaimed accompanist at the age of 17, she did not even know that the world of classical music would become her greatest passion, as it eventually turned out to become her beloved profession.

With a quenchless thirst for all things Lied, Claire dives deep into song cycles and curates concerts that truly speak from her heart. It is her mission to inspire audiences by finding new ways of presenting Lied in a relatable and easily approachable way, always respecting its historic roots.

Still, Claire finds that art songs are timeless pieces that can resonate with everybody and transcend time. Having recorded a set of songs and whole song cycles with the world renowned tenor Charles Castronovo, Italian artsong is now high on Claire´s playlist, as she realized soon enough that the selection of Tosti songs really grabbed her emotional core.

From the bottom of her heart, Claire Habbershaw is promoting art song to the world and does not tire to do so on the social media platforms as well. She is for sure one of the most inspiring brand ambassadors out there in the classical music industry to proclaim the true magic of Lied.
