Morgana Warren-Jones recently won both the prestigious Frederic Cox Award for Singing and the Kennedy Strauss Award competitions at the RNCM where she is a scholarship student on the Postgraduate Diploma course, under the tutelage of Hilary Summers. Born in Bangor, she previously read Music at the University of Leeds, spending a year studying voice at the Strasbourg Conservatoire.

Christopher Pulleyn studied English Literature at York University, after which he gradually began to develop a career as a collaborative pianist, and has since gone on to work with a number of major arts organisations across the country, including Opera North, Leeds Conservatoire, Huddersfield Choral Society, Royal Northern College of Music, the Hallé, Welsh National Opera, Glyndebourne, and the BBC. He was the Junior Fellow Répétiteur at the RNCM for 2019-2021, acting as principal Répétiteur for the college’s opera productions, including Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen and Mansfield Park and Flight by Jonathan Dove. He studies with Michael Dussek, Head of Accompaniment at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
