SINGER BIOGRAPHY:

American soprano Anne Sutton is quickly establishing herself as a versatile young artist in the UK and US. She was praised for her “bright and engaging” performance as a soloist in Bach’s St. John Passion with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and she recently made her Wigmore Hall debut as the soprano soloist in extracts from Bach’s B Minor Mass with Rachel Podger. She was an Associate Artist at Nevill Holt Opera, a Voces8 UK Scholar, and won second place and the early music prize in the AESS Patricia Routledge National English Song Competition. She is one of the founding members of the Londinium Consort, a new ensemble dedicated to bridging the gap between early and contemporary music that recently made its Brighton Festival debut. She has also recently sung with the National Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, the Opera Company of Middlebury (US), and was a finalist in the David Clover Festival of Singing Competition. She is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and enjoys a concurrent career as a stage director.
