The English soprano, Clare Lloyd-Griffiths, read music at Gonville and Caius Cambridge, where she was a choral scholar, before furthering her vocal studies at the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Welsh College of Music where she was a Sir Geraint Evans Scholar.
Clare Lloyd-Griffiths' operatic roles include Susanna in W.A. Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro and Adele in Die Fledermaus (Weston Studio, Welsh Millenium Centre) and Madame Herz in W.A. Mozart's Der Schauspieldirektor and Tonina in Salieri's Prima la musica, poi Le parole (Teatro Manoel of Valleta, Malta for the Notte Bianca Festival). Her work as a concert soloist includes Merab in George Frideric Handel's Saul for the Spitalfields festival directed by Laurence Cummings and W.A. Mozart's Exsultate jubilate at St John's Smith Square and she has sung as a soloist for the conductors Stephen Cleobury, David Hill and the late Sir Philip Ledger.
A committed ensemble singer, Clare Lloyd-Griffiths performs with many groups and is a member of the much-admired ensemble Solomon's Knot, who perform from memory and without conductor.
