Eleanor Rashid

Eleanor Rashid is a freelance musician based in London and Leicester. She graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2017 with a First Class Honours in Music (BMus). Eleanor received 85% for her final recital - one of the highest marks achieved by an undergraduate music student at Goldsmiths. Eleanor founded Goldsmiths’ first ever jazz choir and worked for Nordoff Robbins (music therapy charity), which inspired her to become a workshop leader as well as a performer. She trained with Wigmore Hall learning and works for companies such as Creative Futures as a Music Practitioner. As a Soprano soloist, Eleanor has performed at venues such as The Royal Festival Hall and St-Martins-in-the-Fields. She frequently performs as a soloist with The Minerva Consort as part of the Brandenburg Choral Festival. She has performed as a soloist at Lichfield Cathedral, Dunblane Cathedral (with the Rosenhethe Singers) and made international appearances in Denmark with Il Corpo Cantante. Her most recent notable performance was Humperdinck’s ‘Hansel and Gretel’ with Trinity Orchestra conducted by John Andrews, which received a mention on Classic FM. Alongside her opera and choral work, Eleanor has made appearances at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. She has an interchangeable jazz band (from duo to sextet), based in London but willing to travel. Their sets are made up of mostly jazz standards with some spicy soul and disco numbers to get you dancing!
