Cobham's 'Last Night of the Proms' - Sat 8th Sept 2012
Cobham's "Last Night of the Proms" concert will be held at 7:30pm on Sat 8th September 2012 in St Andrews Church. The Cobham Band and special guest soloist Olivia Safe will be performing.
Olivia has been rated by the British Voice Association as the highest soprano voice in Britain today, Olivia hits the highest notes with effortless purity. Olivia's voice has been described as 'extraordinary' by one of the best singing teachers in the world. Her previous performances have quite literally stopped people in their tracks.
Olivia was all over TV and media in 2008 when she won the chance to tour in A Night at the Opera, having been whittled down from 3,000 hopefuls and winning the public vote on The Alan Titchmarsh Show facing judges Jonathan Ansell, David Grant, Ruthie Henshall and Jonathan Shalit – and a public vote. A Night At the Opera toured 18 venues taking in the Cardiff Millennium Centre and London Palladium.
Olivia studied at the acclaimed Wells Cathedral School in Somerset (having been awarded their first ever full scholarship for voice) and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Whilst there she performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Sir Colin Davis) and as a soloist at the Birmingham Symphony Hall (conducted by Sir Simon Rattle). Her performances have since taken in Twickenham stadium (in front of 80,000 for the EDF Rugby Final) and the Great Hall Of the People in Beijing.
In October 2009, Olivia sang with Robbie Williams at the London Roundhouse for the BBC Electric Proms. In a show broadcast live in over 250 cinemas across 23 countries, she provided the dramatic intro for the concert's opening number, Bodies, backed by a 38-piece orchestra. That show's musical director was Robbie's producer, the Grammy- and triple Brit Award-winning Trevor Horn who, blown away by her performance, signed her to his label Zang Tuum Tumb.
