Unforgettable Festival 2025 will open its doors to the grace of crossover classical music with the presence of Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins. With an impressive career spanning over two decades, Katherine Jenkins is a symbol of modern classical music, an artist who blends opera arias and popular songs with a rare mastery.
From humble beginnings to an international career
Born in Neath, Wales, Katherine Jenkins discovered her passion for music as a child, encouraged by her parents to take singing and piano lessons. After years of intense training at the Royal Academy of Music, Jenkins was able to turn her passion into a successful career. Her rise began in 2003, when she performed in honour of Pope John Paul II's silver jubilee at Westminster Cathedral. That performance launched her onto the international stage, and her success was cemented by the signing of a record deal for six classical albums - the biggest in the history of the British music industry at the time.
Performances that redefined success in classical music
His albums such as Premiere, Second Nature and Serenade, have dominated the music charts, and Jenkins became the first British classical crossover artist to have two number one albums in the same year. Over the course of her career, she has released 13 albums that have topped the UK classical charts, a record unrivalled to date. Twice honoured with the Classical Brit Award for Album of the Year, Katherine has been acclaimed for her ability to bring classical music closer to modern audiences.
Memorable moments and noble commitments
Katherine Jenkins impresses with her artistic talent and humanitarian contributions. She has sung for the British Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, supported numerous charitable causes and paid moving tribute to historic moments such as the death of Queen Elizabeth II by recording the new national anthem God Save the King.
