Guy Edwards
I’m a lyric tenor based in Wiltshire, UK. I sing a wide variety of genres including opera, music theatre, choral music, lieder, and oratorio. (I also play the cello!)
I sing with one of Wales' top male choirs, Côr Meibion De Cymru and previously, both as a soloist and top-tenor with the Wessex Male Choir and the Wessex Camerata until 2019.
I was the Wessex Male Choir's Chairman from July 2014 - July 2017 but left the Wessex in 2019. I'm always open to new singing proposals as long as they fit in with my Côr Meibion De Cymru commitments!
I am currently a Trustee of the Military Wives Choirs Foundation, and of Côr Meibion De Cymru.
As well as many concert, recital, and competition performances, I have sung principal roles with community opera companies including:
My teachers have included Debra Skeen (Soprano), Maria Jagusz (Mezzo), and Rosalind Plowright OBE (Mezzo).
In addition, I have benefitted from masterclasses and consultations with a significant number of well-known singers and directors including:
- Rosalind Plowright OBE
- Stuart Burrows OBE
- Ryland Davies
- Professor Susan McCulloch
- James Gilchrist
- Robin Bowman
- Elaine Kidd
- Adrian Thompson
- Henry Herford
- Margaret Humphrey Clark
- Patricia Wheatley-O'Neill
- Gail Pearson
Having joined the Wessex Concert Orchestra as a 'cellist at its re-launch, I also went on to become the Orchestra Manager and Chairman for a good number of years. I was also the Chairman of the professional Swindon Recital Series until 2014.
