The first ever Music 4all festival is being staged at Wilton's in May as a platform for emerging artists from the worlds of opera, jazz, rock, indie, electronic, cabaret and alternative comedy.

It runs for six nights when performers get mentoring from professionals in the entertainment industry, as well as a commission and a week's rehearsal time.

First night on May 11 are winners in the opera category being mentored by English National Opera, Swedish tenor Theodor Uggla and South Korean baritone Edward Kim, both studying at the Royal College of Music, soprano Lucy Elston and baritone Thomas Isherwood.

A contemporary and jazz evening follows on May 12 with pianist Julian James, soul singer Gabrielle Chudi and musician Chisara Agor.
