He was selected as an Oxford Lieder Young Artist, performing regularly at Oxford Lieder and Leeds Lieder, has performed live on BBC Radio 3 and been interviewed on Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’.
Aron trained at the Royal Academy of Music under the tutelage of Malcolm Martineau, James Baillieu and Michael Dussek, and was a member of Academy’s prestigious ‘Song Circle’.
