About Cantelina

Praised as "such an amazing talent", Cantelina are a dynamic vocal and guitar duo comprising of mezzo-soprano Sophie Clarke and classical guitarist Ravi Nathwani. They are both Masters students at the Royal Northern College of Music and during this time they have received First Place for their performance of de Falla’s 'Siete Canciones Populares Españolas' at the RNCM Bessie Cronshaw/Frost Brownson Song Cycle Competition. Cantelina perform in a selection of concerts all over the UK and were recently invited to perform for the National Day of Spain by the Consul of Spain. Other performances include recitals at Whitworth Art Gallery, the Kings Hall and pre/post-concert performances for BBC Philharmonic and The Hallé at Bridgewater Hall.

The duo also record a selection of music from Spanish art song to crossover arrangements for commercial release and have amassed several thousand loyal listeners across digital music platforms. Most recently, they performed their classical crossover arrangement of Billy Joel's 'And So It Goes' live on BBC Radio Merseyside.
