Andrew Swait
"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 the demands of full choristership in The Abbey School Choir where daily Evensong, numerous concerts and international tours were all a way of life. "
Through recordings, concerts as well as the piano and cello he was always inspired by a number of musicians such as Bowman, Padmore, Terfel, Scholl and Isserlis.
In the face of the tragic events surrounding the end of his choir at The Abbey School Tewkesbury in July 2006, Andrew hopes his work as a treble, through both recording and performance, will focus much needed attention on the importance of providing proper choral training for other boys.
Currently at Cheltenham college he still studies the piano, cello, organ and sings Baritone/Bass in the Chapel and Chamber choirs. To read more about him from 2008 onwards, click below.
