Josie Walledge (soprano)
Josie began her life-long passion for choral music as a chorister at St Andrew’s Church, Colyton, and went on to take up a choral scholarship at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. After 10 years spent working and singing in London and Oxford, Josie returned to the West Country where she has been much in demand as a choral singer and soloist.
Known for her effortless high register and coloratura singing, Josie particularly enjoys performing repertoire from the Baroque and Classical periods, such as Handel Messiah, Bach St John and St Matthew Passions, Mozart Requiem and Mass in C Minor, Haydn The Creation and Allegri Miserere. Josie appears regularly as a soloist with local choral societies and also sings with Exeter Cathedral Consort and Buckfast Abbey Choir.
When she is not singing, Josie works full time as a Principal Consultant with the Bristol-based technology consultancy, Scott Logic. At weekends, she can frequently be found hurdling granite boulders and splashing through boggy puddles as she indulges in her lockdown-inspired love of trail running!
