about Emilie

Emilie Parry-Williams
ATCL, BMus (Hons), PgDip
Emilie is a Classical Soprano based in South Wales. She has been singing since she was five years old, and one of her earliest memories is winning her first singing competition at the age of six, singing a Welsh children’s song ‘Mi Welais Jac-y-do’,
at her school Eisteddfod.
She has a Postgraduate Diploma in Classical Voice from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, graduating in September 2019, and a First Class Undergraduate Music Degree from City University of London.
Emilie was awarded the Bill Weston Young Singers Award from Glyndebourne Opera House in October 2018; the award is given once every two years to a singer who has been involved with the Glyndebourne Education programme, which in Emilie's case, was Glyndebourne Academy 2017. More recently, Emilie was accepted to study a three month Erasmus through the European Opera Academy at the Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini in Florence, Italy, completing the programme and returning to Wales in December 2019.
Emilie travels to various locations around the UK to perform, her example repertoire list is updated regularly and available via email upon request.
