Iestyn Davies is widely recognised as one of the world’s finest singers celebrated for 
the beauty and technical dexterity of his voice and intelligent musicianship. Critical recognition of Iestyn’s work can be seen in two Gramophone Awards, a Grammy Award, a RPS Award for Young Singer of the Year, the Critics’ Circle Award and recently an Olivier Award nomination. He was appointed MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List 2017 for services to music.

Born in Mexico City in 1998, Sergio Bucheli started playing the classical guitar before moving to the UK to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School thanks to a bursary funded by the Rolling Stones. In September 2016, Sergio was awarded the ABRSM and Christopher Hogwood Scholarships to pursue his undergraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music. Sergio plays continuo with many of the UK’s foremost baroque ensembles and chamber music with singers such as Iestyn Davies and Ruby Hughes.
