We hear that Laura Mvula – the singer-songwriter whose debut
album, Sing to the Moon, is being tipped for the charts – has come up
through the classical hothouse.
No sooner did we admire the quality of her debut track this morning than
friends at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra popped up to tell
us that Laura used to play in the first violin section of the CBSO Youth
Orchestra and worked until last year as receptionist at the CBSO
Centre. She played in The Firebird under Sakari Oramo and in the world
premiere of Tansy Davies Streamlines. ‘She’s classically trained to the
hilt, profoundly musical, and as modest and engaging as anyone could
wish,’ says Birmingham classical music writer Richard Bratby.

I love it when the two worlds of music kiss, rather than collide.
