About Belinda Williams: International star soprano Belinda Williams studied at the Royal Academy of Music Opera Course, and gave her Wigmore Hall debut recital at age 26. Belinda then went on to forge a successful operatic career in Germany. Belinda has recently appeared as Gerhilde for the British Wagner Society alongside Sir John Tomlinson, and travels to France this summer to reprise the role of Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Opera de Baugé. In 2021 she was named the Women's Radio Classical Woman of the Year, and made her Wight Proms debut last year narrating Peter and the Wolf.
About James Longford: James Longford has a wide-ranging career as a collaborative pianist, soloist and chamber musician. Forthcoming engagements include concerts with the BBC Singers and Eric Whitacre, the BBC Concert Orchestra, an opera gala for Cowes Fringe and solo recitals in Japan and New York City. He works regularly with major opera companies and BBC ensembles, as well as with many island choral ensembles. James won the Tagore Gold Medal at the Royal College of Music and was organ scholar at St.Martin-in-the-Fields. A Junior Fellowship at the RCM followed, and residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, and the Britten-Pears School. He was delighted to be selected as a Steinway Artist in 2014.
