Guy Withers is an 18 year old up-and-coming young tenor in the South West of England and Cardiff. He sings regularly with a number of choirs, as a choral scholar at Llandaff Cathedral, with the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and with Ralph Allwood’s Rodolfus Choir. He is also a regular principal with Bristol Opera Company.
Guy has won numerous awards and prizes at singing competitions and eisteddfods in the South West, including The Junior Championship at Bristol Eisteddfod and The Adult Championship at Kingswood Eisteddfod. He is a very keen composer and has had pieces and arrangements commissioned and performed by choirs and ensembles in Bristol. In September, Guy will commence his studies, reading Music (BMus), at Cardiff University where he will also hold a vocal scholarship.
Guy will be attending the National Youth Choir of Great Britain’s Summer Course culminating in a concert at Coventry Cathedral. Guy will resume choir and solo work in September when he returns from holiday to commence study at Cardiff University.
August update – “Having returned from my holiday in France I am very relaxed and have recovered from the ordeal of A Level exams. I spent a lot of my time composing for my opera ‘A Soldier’s Faith’. So about 30 mins have been composed, about a 1/3 of what I imagine the length of the opera might be. I look forward to finishing it, my librettists and I are very proud of what we have already achieved….”
Things to come! – “On Tuesday I will take part in my last school concert. It will also be my last singing commitment before my National Youth Choir Course in August. After the concert on Tuesday, I am going away on Holiday with my girlfriend and family to France. Hopefully it will be very relaxing and enjoyable couple of weeks….”
Summer Solos – “This weekend started off with a lunchtime concert at St John the Baptist Church, Keynsham, and ended with some wonderful singing at Clare College, Cambridge, with Llandaff Cathedral Choral Society. My friend, Will and I, along with some other young singers, were given the opportunity to feature in a lunchtime recital organised by another singing friend of ours, Angharad Watkeys….”
