Meet Sophie Bevan, one of the UK’s busiest performing and recording artists, and a member of one of the country’s most musical families.

Sophie will be performing Bruckner with the BBC Singers at the 2024 First Night of the Proms. But who is soprano Sophie Bevan?

Who is Sophie Bevan?

Sophie Bevan is a versatile British soprano, at home singing everything from Handel to Thomas Adès, Opera to Songs. She comes from a large musical family, with whom she occasionally performs as part of the Bevan Family Consort, and started singing at a young age – in church choirs and even opera choruses. Sophie is making a much-anticipated return to the concert stage at this year’s BBC Proms following successful treatment for bowel cancer. A busy artist in the studio as well as on the stage, Sophie has dozens of recordings under her belt.
