BIOGRAPHY
Praised for her “focus, drama, and clarity” in performance (The Herald) and possessing an extensive vocal range “with a dark edge in the lower register and clear, easy high notes in the top of her voice, which she is capable of sustaining above the orchestra with remarkable ease” (Seen and Heard International) Rowan Hellier is a forward-looking artist of vocal and character-inhabiting versatility. Her work blurrs boundaries of genre, discipline and aesthetic, often centring women’s stories, and reflecting the world we currently live in. The Guardian wrote of her recent wom3n recital-programme, performed at Wigmore Hall: “Bring it on!”
