Head/ Thiman/ Gray - The Silver Swan

"Singers of English Song have a vast treasury in which to find their repertoire. Michael Head's songs are generally well known, but many of Eric Thiman's songs are rarely performed and have never been recorded commercially. These beautiful performances by Emily Gray and Nicole Johnson should help to end their obscurity." (Dorothy Webster) Emily has performed as a soloist at the Royal Albert Hall, St. Paul's, Kings Place, and the Purcell Room as well as performing live on BBC Radio 3's In Tune. She has taken leading roles in Dove's 'Mansfield Park', Monteverdi's 'L'incoronazione di Poppea', McNeff's 'Banished' and in Baroquestock's production of Haydn's 'Lo Speziale'. Nicole Johnson is a successful freelance pianist, vocal coach and MD, based in London. She gained a first class BMus (Hons) degree from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in classical piano (2017) where she was awarded the Dave Gosling Prize for Piano Accompaniment, and continued her studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (MPerf Piano Accompaniment, distinction, 2019).
