Biography:

While still a student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Mhairi won the International Early Music Network Young Artists Prize with the fortepianist Olga Tverskaya, which led to her first CD recording of Haydn’s English and Scottish Songs.

As a soloist Mhairi has sung worldwide with such companies as English National Opera, Les Arts Florissants, the Monteverdi Choir, the Early Opera Company, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Academy of Ancient Music.

She enjoys working in repertoire ranging from traditional folksong to Gilbert and Sullivan and contemporary commissions, and has made many commercial recordings, most recently Haydn’s Creation with the Choir of New College, Oxford, conducted by Edward Higginbottom, and Scottish Jacobite Songs on the Avison Ensemble’s CD Rebellion.

With the virtuoso baroque band La Serenissima, Mhairi has recorded many of Vivaldi’s sacred and operatic works and with them has performed large-scale pieces including La Senna feste
