Manx soprano gains her Masters with distinction

01 Feb 2013

Manx soprano, Kate Rotheroe, recently graduated with a Masters in Performance with Distinction from the University of Leeds. As part of her year, she performed a concert of Manx music at Wakefield Cathedral. Kate contacted the MHF Manx Music Development Team, who talked her through the range of manuscripts and possibilities. With help from a small choir of friends, Mona Melodies (1820) and Coraa (2011), Kate put together a programme which included songs in Manx and English, arranged by Annie Kissack, Frank Woolley, Vaughan Williams and J E Quayle. The concert was captured on film and we are hoping that tracks from it can be shared at some point. Kate studied flute and voice with the Junior Royal Northern College of Music and studied French and Music at the University of Southampton. She is now training to be a Modern Languages teacher, but is still singing!
