48. Betty Makharinsky: on life as a singer and organising the Vache Baroque Festival

Things Musicians Don't Talk About

‘It’s easy to slip into a mode of being

where you think your life is happening to you and

you’re stuck…you think you have to carry on xyz

trajectory because that’s how it’s been for so long…’

This week’s guest is the soprano Betty Makharinsky who spoke to me (Hattie) during a day of rehearsals for the charity and organisation she co-founded, Vache Baroque Festival ✨

Betty and I spoke about her difficulties with the music college system after leaving Oxford and how going too soon affected her development and confidence as a singer. She also speaks with so much wisdom about her love of teaching and the importance of the workshops run in schools by the Vache Baroque Festival.

It was amazing to hear about Betty’s excitement for her future as a singer and having the confidence to commit to exploring everything she can with her voice and opportunities it may bring.

Her love for singing is so infectious and wise and I think Betty put her mindset best when she said ‘- More and more I think it’s important to do everything in your life full-heartedly’

Thank you Betty for bringing such honesty and

inspiration 🙏
