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.
