About the singers:

Peter Grant

Peter Grant, Bass Baritone, was born and educated in Edinburgh. He studied with Adrian Thompson at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and has since led a busy freelance operatic career working with the Royal Opera House, Scottish Opera, English Touring Opera, Holland Park Opera, Carl Rosa Opera, Garsington Opera, Garden Opera, Co Opera Ireland and Clonter Opera. His repertoire includes Leporello in Don Giovanni, Don Alfonso in Cosi fan tutte, Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro, Papageno in The Magic Flutem, Dick Deadeye in HMS Pinafore and many more. Peter is equally at home on the concert platform and sings regularly with the Scottish tenor Elliot Goldie in the vocal duo Goldie and Grant. Peter and Elliot performed with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra alongside Nicola Benedetti in front of an audience of 10,000 at the Scottish Prom Concert at Glamis Castle. Peter is very much in demand as an exponent of Scots song at Burns’ Suppers and St Andrew’s Nights across the United Kingdom.

Michelle Sheridan

Irish soprano Michelle Sheridan-Grant studied at the DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama, Trinity College Dublin, the Royal College of Music, Flanders Opera Studio and The University of Wales Trinity St. David.

Her performing career has taken her around the world and she has worked with some of the world’s leading conductors, directors and orchestras. As a soprano soloist on the concert platform she has performed works by Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Schubert, Tavener, Reich and Cooke to name a few. She has made numerous TV appearances and has recorded recitals for RTE and BBC radio. Her performances have been hailed as ‘expressive’, ‘show stealing’ (Irish Independent) and full of ‘sincerity and conviction’ (The Irish Times).
