Iestyn Davies (countertenor)

Iestyn Davies is one of the UK’s leading young countertenors, whose career has now burst onto the international stage with a diary of engagements taking him around Europe, Norh America and recently, closer to home, in his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
In the first solo counter tenor recital in the Temple Song series, Iestyn joins Julius Drake in a programme celebrating the rich variety of the English song book including Butterworth’s A Shropshire Lad and songs by Purcell, Britten, Tippet, Gurney and Vaughan Williams.
