Year of graduation: 2025
Kizzy is in their third year of their undergraduate at RWCMD. They have a varied background in choral singing, performing alongside Voces8, Genesis Sixteen, the BBC Singers and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. In their early years, Kizzy attended the junior department of RNCM where they were taught by Jenny Heslop. Kizzy has since been taught by Lorna Anderson, and now James Gilchrist. Born in Shropshire, Kizzy was lucky to have an international chamber music festival on their doorstep, where they have recently performed alongside Sophia Rahman, Mark Padmore and Roderick Williams. Gherardino will be Kizzy's first opera role and they look forward to tackling more in the future.
