Beth Taylor

We are incredibly proud of one of Sestina Music's singers, Beth Taylor, who was a finalist in the prestigious BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2023! This is an absolutely amazing achievement and so richly deserved. She delivered an outstanding performance of Va tacito e nascosto from Handel's Giulio Cesare, O schöne Jugendtage from Kienzl's Der Evangelimann and Le spectre de la rose from Berlioz' Les nuits d'été. We wish Beth every success in all her future engagements.
