🗣️Harriet Cameron studied at the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In 2023, she appeared with Bampton Classical Opera in At the Venice Fair by Salieri, and her operatic roles include ‘Mum’ in the world premiere of Louise Drewett’s Daylighting (2021), Lucia (The Rape of Lucretia) with British Youth Opera (2024), and Amor and Valletto (L’incoronazione di Poppea) with Hampstead Garden Opera (2025). She also performed as a soloist in Mademoiselle Duval’s Les Caractères de l’Amour (2025), and in the upcoming season will cover Barbarina in Wild Arts’ production of Le nozze di Figaro.
Harriet was awarded the ‘Most Promising Young Singer’ prize at the Somerset Song Prize and was a finalist in the Ashburnham English Song Competition with Siyuan. She also sang in the chorus of Longborough Festival Opera’s production of Wahnfried by Avner Dorman, and in March 2026 performed as a soloist at Bath Abbey with the Bath Minerva Choir.
Alongside her singing career, she is a passionate actor and director, a member of the National Youth Theatre, and recently directed Margarida Gonçalves’s opera for the Tête-à-Tête Festival.
🎹 Siyuan Xu graduated from the Royal Academy of Music with a Master of Arts in Ensemble Piano in 2024 and a Professional Diploma in 2025, studying with James Baillieu, Joseph Middleton, and Anna Tilbrook.
Siyuan was awarded the Major Van Someren-Godfery Prize for Accompanists in 2023. In 2024, she reached the finals of the Ashburnham English Song Awards with Harriet, and returned in 2025 as a finalist with baritone Theodore Nisbett. Siyuan was a Leeds Song Young Artist in 2025 and will also be partaking in the Lied the Way Song Festival in Florence in July 2026.
As an active chamber musician, Siyuan performs regularly with her duo partners at venues across UK and Europe, such as Southwark Cathedral, British Library, the Elgar Concert Hall in Birmingham, and Château Voltaire and Fort L’Écluse in France.
