Tina Boycott – Soprano

Tina Boycott is a music graduate of Lancaster University, where she studied singing with Barbara Robotham. She then studied with Honor Sheppard for two years at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester. On leaving Manchester in 1991 Tina was awarded a bursary by the Prince's Youth Business Trust to enable her to pursue her musical career. One of her first appearances was as a guest soloist at Buxton Opera House with the Janus Ensemble. Since then she has continued to concentrate on recital and solo work.

Tina has performed most of the major oratorio works with choral societies throughout Britain. Recent performances include Bach's Magnificat, Mozart's Requiem Mass, Handel's Messiah and Semele, Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle, Haydn's "Nelson" Mass, Mendelssohn's Elijah, and "Song of Miriam" by Schubert.

Tina is also a member of the Britten Singers - formerly the BBC Northern Singers - with whom she has made numerous recordings for BBC Radio, Television and C.D. She has also performed in many music festivals including the BBC Promenade Concerts, and worked with such distinguished conductors as Sir Georg Solti and Richard Hickox.

Tina continues to study with Honor Sheppard as well as singing with the vocal ensemble "Chudleigh's Cumpanie". She also continues as an accomplished flautist, and is a Licentiate of the Trinity College of Music, London.
