 English
born soprano Cheryl
Brendish is known for her ability to
combine beautiful lyrical singing with real stage presence and
theatrical ability. Based in Cornwall, Cheryl regularly performs
throughout the South West in recitals, concerts, guest
appearances and on the operatic stage.
Cheryl was destined to be a
performer from a very young age - regularly testing her lungs to maximum
capacity to attract maximum attention, thus perfecting her 'Diva'
status! It is said that she sang before she could speak; at the
tender age of seven, with a broken arm, Cheryl tasted her first success winning her class in the Mansfield Music Festival,
England, singing Thomas Arne's "Where the bee sucks" adjudicated
by Constance Shacklock, OBE.
Having experienced success, Cheryl wanted more! Relentlessly requesting
singing lessons (even sacrificing her idea of keeping a horse at the
bottom of the garden in the shed!) Cheryl soon auditioned with Pamela
Cook, MBE and her world-renowned girls choir, Cantamus. Cheryl
sang with Cantamus for five years and has very fond memories and
several extremely interesting stories of those formative years - performing in international competitions in Poland, Switzerland,
Vienna and Wales.

 Opera
Gala Evening with Plymouth Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra
Saturday 21 June 2025 from 7.30pm
Minster Church of St Andrew, Plymouth
The Plymouth Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra
Opera Gala Evening features some of the most popular and favourite
choruses. Be prepared to have your heart strings tugged by the palpable
feeling of longing in the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from the opera
Nabucco; embrace the power and majesty of the Triumphal Scene from
another of Verdi’s operas, Aida. Whereas Spanish workers strike their
anvils at dawn and sing boisterously of hard work, good wine and women
in Verdi’s Anvil Chorus, Bizet’s Carmen raises the temperature to fever
pitch in the provocative Habanera which tells of the untamed nature of
love featuring soprano, Cheryl Brendish and baritone,
John Hobbs.
