Soloists




 

Andrew Swait was just ten years old when he recorded 'Light of the World' in October 2005 as an Abbey School Chorister. His prodigious talent was spotted at the age of only five, and steeped in the musical whirlwind of a chorister's life, his remarkable musicianship has flourished. 
In addition to many hours of singing both at the Abbey and elsewhere, Andrew also plays the piano and cello and still finds time to go to concerts and follow the careers of his idols - Kirkby, Padmore, Terfel, Scholl and Isserlis - with a bit of live jazz thrown in too. Andrew's passions don't stop at music. He takes extra-curricular Mandarin lessons which he started aged 6 (he has even sung in Chinese), and he devotes many-an-hour to his Airfix modelling of WWI and WWII air and sea craft with just as much dedication and enthusiasm as he affords his musical and academic life.
