Recital is central to Hugh’s ambition, and he seeks to expand the possibilities of countertenor repertoire in this sphere. He has given recitals with orchestra at the Carnegie Hall, the Paris Philharmonie and St Martin in the Fields with conductors including Bernard Labadie, William Christie, and Peter Whelan. Recitals with pianists have included those broadcast live on BBC radio at Oxford International Song, the Brighton Festival, the Cheltenham Festival, and the Ryedale Festival. In 2025/26, Hugh curates a residency at London’s Wigmore Hall.
Hugh is represented internationally Askonas Holt.
