GREGORY Steward, a classically trained professional tenor, will be presenting an evening of classical favourites and songs from the shows at Holy Trinity Church in Dilton Marsh on Friday 12th May from 7.30pm.
Some of the favourites will include Bring Him Home from Les Miserables, If I Loved You from Carousel, and This Nearly Was Mine from South Pacific.
Gregory, who is only 23, graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with a First-Class Honours Degree in Music, having studied voice with Tim Richards. Prior to commencing his studies, he was a joint specialist vocal and trumpet scholar at Wells Cathedral School.
Gregory was the winner of the Taunton Young Singer Competition and a semi-finalist in the prestigious Somerset Song Prize, a national competition for singers up to the age of 25. He was also a semi-finalist in the Two Moors Young Musician competition.
After successfully auditioning for the BBC National Chorus of Wales he has performed Britten’s War Requiem and Handel’s Messiah, both at St David’s Hall. More recently he performed with the Exeter Festival Chorus as the Evangelist in The Christmas Story by Schutz and is shortly to perform the same role in Stainer’s Crucifixion at Taunton Minster.
Since graduating he has been enjoying performing concerts in towns and villages in the South West as he embarks on his solo career.
