“I am very happy to announce my signature with Sony Classical and to start this new musical adventure with such a prestigious family of artists and a team passionate about classical music.
My next album, recorded in January 2022 with the Balthasar Neumann Ensemble and Thomas Hengelbrock will be released in November 2022 and will be entirely dedicated to Mozart” Julie recently commented regarding this new collaboration.
Hervé Defranoux, Director of the Sony Classical France label commented:
“Julie is an exceptional artist, a brilliant and majestic voice, with an incomparable color and intensity, a unique stage presence and without any doubt one of our very first lyric artists in France and outside our borders.
She will offer us a first Mozart recital, entitled Amadè, on November 18, 2022, recently recorded at the Château de Fontainebleau, accompanied by the Balthasar ensemble, conducted by Thomas Hengelbrock.”
Sony Classical is particularly excited to accompany her career and more specifically her recordings, from November 2022 with this exciting Mozart project”.
