Doors open 7.45pm, concert starts at 8pm
The evenings performance will take place in the Chapel at St Mary's University.
We are delighted to welcome back the wonderful soprano Kirsty Taylor Stokes supported by the Strawberry Hill House Community Choir to present an entertaining evening of Christmas music and festive poetry read by Nigel Roberts. In addition to solos performed by Kirsty, the programme will also feature the very beautiful Evening Prayer from Humperdink’s Hansel and Gretel and Rutter’s Angel's Carol. We are also excited to welcome back George de Voil who will once again perform a duet with James Speakman.
British soprano, Kirsty Taylor-Stokes made her Professional debut in the 2012 Season as The Cockerel in Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen for Glyndebourne Opera, and has been described by Opera Now as “a really classy full-bodied voice, who sings with spine-tinglingly delicate beauty”
Kirsty studied at Birmingham Conservatoire (BMus hons) and then at The Royal Academy of Music (MMus, Dip Ram). Following her debut, she went on to sing several other roles and covers for Glyndebourne Festival including First Nymph in Dvořák‘s Rusalka, Female Chorus in Britten’s Rape of Lucretia, and Mimi for Glyndebourne’s Education programme. Other appearances include covering Mimi for Grange Park Opera, Tatyana in Eugene Onegin for Garsington Opera, singing Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro for Garsington’s Alvarez programme in the UK and Corfu, Vrenchen in Delius’ A Village Romeo & Juliette at Cadogan Hall and Cio Cio San in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly across France and the UK for Opera Loki.
Most recently Kirsty made two exciting role debut’s singing Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the Minack Theatre, and Tosca for Opera Loki to great critical acclaim. A regular performer of Leider.
