Save Music announces Anna Patalong as official ambassador.

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 13:08:27 GMT

Anna Patalong, international Soprano and Opera star, is officially announced as ambassador for the 'Save Music' movement.

The campaign led by the Incorporated Society of Musicians, is focused on the free movement of musicians following Brexit and beyond, and aims to protect the UK’s world-class music industry and global presence.

Anna said: “I am very proud to be involved with the Save Music campaign and honoured to be invited to represent them. It’s something I feel incredibly passionate about.

Francesca Treadaway, Senior Communications Manager, ISM said:

''We wanted Anna to be an ambassador for the Save Music campaign because as an international Opera singer, Anna is the embodiment of the campaign. Musicians across all genres, including Opera, regularly travel to perform and collaborate and this is under threat in the face of Brexit. The ability to travel freely lies at the heart of creating music – music is universal and knows no boundaries. The very best music often comes from musicians from all walks of life coming together to collaborate. The Save Music campaign calls for freedom of movement to be maintained for musicians post-Brexit, or a two-year working visa to be introduced post-Brexit. The ISM is currently lobbying government on this matter.''

Speaking to the ISM on the importance of freedom of movement for musicians Anna said:

'Freedom of movement is essential for our jobs, enabling us to move freely around the continent and work without restrictions. But even more importantly, it allows artists of every kind in Europe to interact and share our languages, cultures and ideas. Collaboration is fundamental to Opera, which is an amalgamation of many art forms, and provides opportunity to, as Oscar Wilde put it, ‘play gracefully with ideas’. It is vital to keep us producing great work, the further apart we move, the harder that becomes.'

Anna joins the Save Music campaign at a especially crucial time and will work ardently to support the campaign and play her role as a key advocate for the freedom of movement for UK musicians.

Anna's yellow and blue dress sparks political debate.

Wed, 27 Mar 2019 00:00:00 GMT

This week, in an unexpected turn of events, Anna's choice of performance attire (in which she recently sung her part of Raymond Gubbay's Classical Spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall) became the centre of a wider debate around censorship, the arts, politics and freedom of movement.

Anna, has described her choice of attire as a “subtle nod” to Europe at a time when she and other musicians fear for their livelihoods, but also that she had simply wanted to celebrate her Polish, Irish and British heritage after taking part in the anti-Brexit march in London earlier in the day.

Amidst claims that the dress was too provocative for a concert platform - Anna reports: “Everyone was very happy. There was no dissent, or boos from the audience and in fact I don’t think that you could see the details on the dress beyond the orchestra pit. I have received personal messages from members of the choir and the orchestra, who could see, and they have said that they were very happy that I could make that gesture,”.

Anna has since embraced the chance to speak out for UK musicians who are facing uncertainty in the face of Brexit and has become an official ambassador for the Save Music campaign .

Speaking on the importance of freedom of movement for UK musician's - Anna explains ''It’s a difficult time for the musical community because free movement is essential for us to carry out our jobs. It’s an industry where many of us work contract by contract so everyone is really quite worried about what will happen.
