Ed is an operatic baritone who recently graduated with a first-class degree from Oxford and

is now studying for a Masters in singing at the Royal Academy of Music. Initially a trumpet

player, Ed has extensive orchestral experience, most notably with the Hallé youth orchestra.

He also won a place in the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester at the age of 17. He

unfortunately suffered an injury which reduced his ability to play and had to look elsewhere

to express his musical interests. This musical refuge became singing.

 

Ed has sung with multiple choirs including the Queen’s College Chapel Choir at Oxford. He is an invested soloist and as well as singing multiple recitals around the UK, won the prestigious Mendl-

Schrama Award for singing in 2023. He has also been in three opera productions with the

Oxford Student Opera Society – Le Nozze Di Figaro, Don Giovnni, and Gianni Schicchi – and is

excited to be a participating in the Royal Academy’s autumn production of Carmen as a

member of the chorus this year.

 

He is delighted to be performing the bass solos in this year’s Nidderdale Messiah.
