Presentation's the key to success
IT appears that there’s more in common between musicians
and politicians than you might have first thought.
Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott congratulated rising
star soprano Daria Kirilishina, 13, on her performance at the
Institute of Education, Bedford Way, last Wednesday and told
her of how presentation was key to both professions.
He said: It’s very important how you walk on to the stage,
how you hold yourself and the impression your audience gets.”
Daria, who studies at Musica Nova, the Anglo-Russian music academy
based in King’s Cross, sang two songs by Simon and Garfunkel
and the Beatles. Her performance was met with great acclaim
from the audience, which included prominent political figures,
such as former Education Secretary Estelle Morris, and former
Home Secretary David Blunkett.
Daria was invited to perform at the event after Fred Jarvis,
former General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers,
heard her sing at Musica Nova’s Christmas concert.
The evening was a memorial event in honour of the great educator
Ted Wragg, who died in November 2005.
