British-born Basque-Cypriot singer Amaya Pitharas is a classical singer, working across the classical and cabaret worlds internationally. After completing her studies at the Guildhall School, she began to juggle life as a single mother and as a working singer, initially focusing on professional chorus work at concert halls across the UK and europe, and then taking a leap into the world of Cabaret, with great success. Now she performs internationally, taking classical music to unconventional spaces, and also collaborating with artists of multiple disciplines to create new Opera and music inspired by her levantine and basque heritage.
