Wells Cathedral is thrilled to be hosting classical guitarist, Alexandra Whittingham to perform live in Concert on Friday 25th June 2021.
The programme will include works by Coste, Shand, Pratten, Gerhard and Dyens.
After studying classical guitar, piano, jazz guitar and composition at the world-renowned Chetham’s School of Music for seven years, Alexandra Whittingham gained a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Having graduated with first class honours and the Timothy Gilson Guitar Prize in 2019, she has returned to the Royal Academy to complete a masters degree.
Alexandra has recently signed with Delphian on an initial three-recording collaboration, to include a programme of all female composers and a recital of South American music.
Alexandra’s debut album can be pre-ordered here.
Join Wells Cathedral for a fantastic evening of opera arias and other music sung by classical soprano, Milly Forrest, accompanied by Hamish Brown, on Friday 10th September 2021.
Milly Forrest is a British-born classical soprano who trained at both the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music.
In 2017 Milly made headlines when she was plucked from her job as a cloakroom attendant to perform in the world-famous Wigmore Hall after another soprano was taken ill. Performing ensemble works by Franz Schubert and Ralph Vaughan Williams, she enthralled the audience with her “exquisite performance”.
In 2019 Milly won the Patricia Routledge English Song Competition, and in December 2020 Milly was awarded the Ferrier-Loveday Song Prize in the Kathleen Ferrier singing competition.
During the Pandemic, Milly has spent time working as a hospital porter supporting the work of the NHS.
