Laurence Kilsby

[john45]

Who else attended the concert by the Dean’s Close Schola Cantorum at the Pump Room in Cheltenham the day after Libera’s 2009 spring concert at Arundel? There were a number of familiar faces from the Libera concert in attendance. If you were there, you were probably blown away by the performance of young treble Laurence Kilsby.

He went on to become Young Chorister of the Year and is now a very successful tenor. Here’s a review of his debut album “Awakenings”:

I never heard him live but I do have some of the Tewkesbury albums with him singing as a treble and he is fantastic.

I noticed he was due to sing at the Proms with Malakai last September but I didn't make it in the end due to illness.

He's actually one of two Young Choristers of the Year from Dean Close. The second was Cassian Pichler-Roca, who I also never managed to hear live, but I was randomly on the same plane as him to Barcelona.

I'll check out Laurence's new album, thanks.
