Scottish soprano Amy Strachan is in her final year of studies in the Alexander Gibson Opera School at the RCS under the tutelage of Wilma MacDougall. Amy graduated from the Royal Academy of Music with a distinction in her masters and was subsequently offered a fellowship, and previously read music at The University of Edinburgh.
Amy was the recipient of the Donald Tovey Memorial Prize – for the greatest promise in composition or performance and was awarded first prize in the Marjorie Thomas Art of Song Prize.
Amy has featured as a soloist in the Edinburgh International Festival as part of their Songlines series, in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme. Operatic engagements have included Micaela Carmen, Pamina Die Zauberflöte, and Iris Semele. She will be performing the role of Elle La Voix Humane later this year. Amy’s studies are generously supported by the ABRSM and the Cross Trust.
