BIOGRAPHY FOR USE IN CLASSICAL PROGRAMMES:
British-Canadian mezzo-soprano Patricia Hammond studied singing in Canada and Switzerland before moving to the UK in 2001. She has sung as a soloist with Dame Emma Kirkby in Voces8’s Live from London, in oratorio in Europe and North America, as well as London’s Queen Elizabeth and Royal Festival Halls under Ivan Fischer and Sir Simon Rattle with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. In opera Patricia has appeared at the Wexford Festival, the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Theatre and the Herodus Atticus Theatre in Athens. She has given numerous recitals in Switzerland, Canada, and in festivals all over Great Britain.
She has been featured on BBC Radio 3 and BBC4 Television, and Radio 4′s “Midweek” with Libby Purves in April 2010. “Le Charme”, her CD of French song, was Editor’s Choice in the American Record Guide in 2007, and in 2010 Patricia was featured on a Sony compilation entitled “Down Memory Lane”. Patricia has also performed world premieres for British composers Michael Brough, David Blake and Graham Coatman.
In addition to her work in classical music, Patricia is a fervent researcher of popular songs from bygone eras, and her CD “Our Lovely Day” (2011) has been played frequently on BBC Radio 2. In 2014, she is releasing a CD of popular songs from the First World War with authentic instruments, and will be showcasing them at the Buxton, Deal and Branscombe festivals, and Grange Park Opera.
“Awakenings“, Patricia’s article on singing to people in hospitals, care-homes and hospices, was published in the the Telegraph’s Weekend magazine and The Week in March 2010. In 2011 she was made an honorary Fellow of the University of Liverpool’s School of the Arts.
