Victoria
Lyon is the great-great-grand-daughter of the renowned 19th century
opera singer, Jenny Lind, known as “The Swedish Nightingale”. With her
five siblings, who were also music scholars, she formed a family sextet
that would busk in the streets, instead of taking summer jobs. She later
attended the Royal College of Music and joined the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra as its youngest player.
Izzy
Johnston, who gained a full scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music,
is from an extremely musical family. Her parents run a music school, her
brother Guy is a cellist, Magnus a violinist and Rupert is a horn
player, who unfortunately was left severely brain damaged after a car
accident in 1997. Her family continues to raise money for Rupert’s
charity BIRT. Izzy performed an arrangement of The Four Seasons with
Magnus at the Royal Albert Hall Prom in 2005 and was a guest soloist
with Michael Ball at his prom in 2007.
Tasya
Hodges, who speaks four languages, was born in England but is half
Croatian. Passionate about music from an early age, she started playing
the cello whilst living in Croatia. However, her life was interrupted
by war in the county and she and her family were forced to leave,
relocating to Brussels for two years until Tasya won a scholarship to
study at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey, England. Later came four
years at Guildhall where she performed with the London Symphony
Orchestra for three months.
Chantal
Leverton, who took up music at age seven, was a member of the
prestigious National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, before she won a
scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. Aged 13, Chantal won The
Henry Wood prize for most promising string player from the Trinity
College of Music. Chantal also played at the Wigmore Hall aged 14 in a
masterclass with the Vienna piano trio.
