Catrin was recently the winner of the Norma Grieg French Song Prize at the RCS, and was runner-up at Llangollen Musical Eisteddfod International Voice of the Future 2017. Also at home on the concert platform, recent oratorio engagements repertoire include Britten’s War Requiem, Haydn’s Nelson Mass, and Mozart’s Mass in C Minor.
