Lotti

Back in her student days, in between the singing and the parties, Lotti somehow conned the University of Bristol in to awarding her both a BA and an MA in Music. She specialised in early music, transcribing a heap of motets by an unheard of sixteenth-century French Composer in to modern notation. One can only assume that Edward Higgingbottom and New College Oxford Choir were extremely desperate when they decided to record these motets and issue them on Collins Classic label (thanks to both of you who bought the CD by the way…)

Since graduating Lotti has built a career as a concert soprano in the West of England, performing a mixture of oratorio and recital work but also lighter repertoire such as Gershwin Flanders and Swann. Her performances have taken her from St Martin’s in the Fields to Snape Maltings to Bristol’s Colston Hall and she has also performed live on Classic FM. Less impressively, she does an unforgettable Abba routine at the karaoke…

Lotti continues to inflict her singing teaching on unsuspecting souls in the Bristol area and has built up a large private teaching practice as well as teaching in local schools. She also teaches music theory and music history as part of the Lifelong Learning Programme at The University of Bristol and sings every week in the Lord Mayor’s Chapel in Bristol.
