Lyra Winters

I am a London-based classical and legit musical theatre soprano, providing elegant live singing for weddings, funerals, memorial services, church ceremonies and private events. I offer a calm, professional and musically sensitive presence, carefully tailored to the tone and significance of each occasion. I perform because music has a unique ability to support important moments — whether in celebration, reflection or remembrance. In formal and ceremonial settings, live singing can enhance the atmosphere and meaning of an occasion, and I approach every engagement with respect, preparation and care for both the music and the people involved. My musical training began with a full scholarship to Wells Cathedral School, where I received a strong foundation in classical singing and musicianship. I have since continued my development through advanced professional training in musical theatre in London, alongside ongoing vocal coaching. My background also includes experience teaching within the classical music sector, supporting a thoughtful, technically grounded approach to performance. I have performed as a soloist in concert, recital and theatre settings across the UK, and I am comfortable working in a range of venues including churches, theatres, private spaces and formal event settings. I am confident collaborating with organists, pianists and backing tracks, and I ensure that all practical details — repertoire planning, timing, equipment and communication — are handled smoothly and professionally. For weddings and ceremonies, I work closely with clients to select music that feels personal, appropriate and supportive of the occasion. For funerals and memorial services, I offer a sensitive and understated approach, supporting families with clear communication and thoughtful repertoire choices during what can be a difficult time. My repertoire includes classical favourites, refined musical theatre selections, and popular songs presented in a classical or crossover style, alongside bespoke requests where appropriate. I am always happy to advise on music choices based on venue, acoustics and the emotional tone desired. Above all, clients can expect reliability, discretion and a high musical standard. I am committed to clear communication, careful preparation and delivering a polished, seamless performance on the day.
