Sioned Gwen DaviesMezzo-Soprano

Sioned is very excited that she will be performing live again in August with Scottish Opera. She sees this as the light at the end of a tunnel and hopefully, slowly, the arts will start to recover after some very difficult months. She also realises that she is very lucky to be performing again, not many are and many will be struggling and will continue to do so for many months, therefore she’s asking if you have any donations, even a small one, please visit

Thank you. Diolch.
