The IGF are proud to offer a series of free concerts taking place at the Priors Hall in Hexham Abbey.

Praised as "such an amazing talent", Cantelina are a dynamic vocal and guitar duo comprising of mezzo-soprano Sophie Clarke and classical guitarist Ravi Nathwani. They have just completed their masters at the Royal Northern College of Music this June and during their time at the RNCM they received First Place in the Bessie Cronshaw/Frost Brownson Song Cycle Competition. Cantelina perform in a selection of concerts all over the UK and last October they were invited to perform by the Consul of Spain for the National Day of Spain. Other performances include a recital for Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre and pre-concert and post-concert recitals for BBC Philharmonic and The Hallé, both at Bridgewater Hall. Their most recent recital took place at Westminster Music Library and Archives in the heart of London’s West End.

Come along for 3pm on Sunday 16th march to hear this wonderful duo!
