Overview

Hugh Cutting made history in 2021 as the first countertenor to win the coveted Kathleen Ferrier Award and join the roster of BBC New Generation Artists. Hailed by The Times as owner of ‘an exceptional voice: lustrous and rounded, with power in reserve and immaculate intonation’, his emergence as a rising-star soloist rests on adamantine foundations.
