The guest soprano at Cor Meibion Llanelli's St David's Day concert on Tuesday, March 1 will be Llio Evans.
Originally from Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, Llio is Studying her MMus at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, studying the voice with both vocal tutor Suzanne Murphy and coach Jeff Howard.
During her time at RWCMD she has performed as a soloist with the Historical department and String Department and in 2008 she was chosen to represent both the College and the National Assembly as a soloist in China, performing in the ‘Discover Wales’ exhibition and in many receptions in Chongqing and Beijing.
At the College, she has received the Monmouth Choral Society Award, and both E.A. Redman Lieder Interpretation Prize and the Margaret Tann Award for most promising singer for two years running.
Llio has also been successful outside College, having won the over 21 years solo at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, the Operatic Solo and the Blue Ribband under 25 (Osbourne Roberts Memorial Award) in the National Eisteddfod, the under 25 solo and Pam Weaver scholarship at the Urdd Eisteddfod and she received the Scholarship for singers under 30 at the Angelsey Centenary Eisteddfod. She is also the current winner of the Russell Sheppard Memorial Award and the Welsh Association of Male Voice Choirs Music Award. She has twice been a finalist for the Bryn Terfel Scholarship competition and a finalist in the MOCSA young Welsh Singer of the Year competition.
Llio is a very versitile performer, having taken part in many theatrical as well as musical productions; as part of an operatic, choral and chamber ensemble; and her solo work ranges from opera, lieder music theatre, baroque, modern and folk.
She is experienced in recital work, and has performed with bands, solo guitar accompaniment, and full orchestra; singing in open air and in a television and recording studio.
