Maria Wilsher is in her fourth year at RBC, studying singing under the tutelage of Louise Crane. She participates in Chamber Choir and this year was selected to be one of Ex Cathedra’s Student Scholars. Since 2022, she has given yearly lunchtime recitals in Winchester Cathedral - last year featuring a collection of songs set to Shakespeare texts and this year with the theme ‘Times of day’. She has performed the role of 1st spirit in Die Zauberflöte with Hurn Court Opera and, in RBCs Opera Scenes last November, portrayed the role of Sylvie in an extract from The Letter Under the Door - a new opera written by Isabella Ennes, a student composer at RBC.
Maria was one of two singers chosen from her year to represent the Conservatoire in the Kathleen Ferrier Bursary Competition in 2022 held at the Royal Academy of Music. She recently won the John Ireland Prize at the RBC performing alongside the Boulanger Trio and, soon after, won second prize in the Edward Brooks English Song Prize, accompanied by Bianca Vancea.
