Elin Manahan Thomas
Born and bred in Swansea, before graduating from Clare College Cambridge in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, in 2007 Elin released her debut album with Universal Classics and Jazz, Eternal Light, which entered the classical charts at number two.

She is the first singer ever to record Bach’s Alles mit Gott, a birthday ode written in 1713 and discovered in 2005. Elin received great acclaim for her Pie Jesu on Naxos’ award-winning recording of the Rutter Requiem, and was praised as soloist in Bach’s St Matthew Passion at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, under Sir John Eliot Gardiner.

Elin performed in Classic FM’s fifteenth birthday concert, at Songs of Praise’s ‘The Big Sing’ at the Royal Albert Hall, and in the World Premiere of Sir John Tavener’s Requiem in Liverpool Cathedral. Concert performances range from Monteverdi to Mozart, and Purcell to Poulenc.
