Roderick Williams and Christopher Glynn

From Opera to Recital, Baroque to World Premieres, Roderick Williams OBE is in constant demand worldwide for his rich and nuanced baritone voice and for commissioned compositions.

In addition to a wonderful voice, he has a relaxed and engaging presence which reaches out to the audience and the Bradfield Festival of Music are delighted to have him perform in Bradfield.

The Grammy award winning Christopher Glynn has accompanied Roderick Williams on numerous occasions in live performance and in recordings.

Christopher has a sensitive style which goes hand in hand with Roderick’s rich and subtly nuanced baritone voice.
