Shortly after graduation she became a Harewood Young Artist at English National Opera, where her roles included Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, Yum-Yum in The Mikado, Papagena in The Magic Flute and Rebecca in Nico Muhly’s Two Boys. Engagements elsewhere include the title-role in Mark Antony Turnage’s Coraline at Covent Garden, Merab in Barrie Kosky’s landmark staging of Handel’s Saul at the Adelaide Festival, and Dalinda in Handel’s Ariodante with The English Concert.

Always performing without a conductor, the ensemble have developed a reputation across Europe as one of the UK’s leading string orchestras. This debut recording highlights the group’s commitment to intimate music-making that lives and breathes, performed with dazzling energy and an astonishing sound, all based on the principle of putting the music in charge.

A beautiful new album of compositions and arrangements for choir and strings by Norwegian composer, Ola Gjeilo.
Including new arrangements of familiar Christmas carols in a beautiful and intimate setting to emulate the feeling of “Hygge”.
Ola Gjeilo (pronounced Yay-lo) is one of the most frequently performed composers in the choral world.
An accomplished pianist, improvisations over his own published choral pieces have become a trademark of his collaborations across the world.
Although Norwegian by birth, it is perhaps Ola’s adopted country of America that has influenced the composer’s distinctive sound world the most, evolving a style that is both contemporary and familiar; thick harmonies and rich textures recall film score – music that forms a major part of the composer’s inspiration.
