Jonathan Hyde began life in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, and sang as a treble in Gloucester Cathedral Choir before going on to study with the ever inspiring Maria Jagusz in Cirencester, performing with her fantastic company MJ-UK. He read Music at St John’s College, Cambridge for his bachelor’s degree, singing in the choir as a choral scholar under Andrew Nethsingha, and spent many happy years singing in some of the world’s greatest venues and performing in the University Opera Society. From there, he decided to pursue his passion for classical singing and began to study with Robert Dean at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He studied with the likes of Graham Johnson, Ian Burnside, Joseph Middleton, Alistair Hogarth and Eugene Asti on projects ranging from Schubert’s Winterreise to Rossini’s La Scala di Seta and the première of Matthew King’s jazzy cantata Schoenberg in Hollywood. During his study he also performed across the country in the Oxford Lieder Festival, Leeds Lieder Festival, Ludlow English Song Festival and the Cheltenham International Music Festival. Aware that patience is a virtue, Jonathan is currently training as an accountant and working to help the nation spend wisely in the public sector. He is still able to continue his training and is excited to experience the voice settling and changing over time.
