Principal Adjudicator - Richard Gowers

Richard Gowers, born in 1994, is a British pianist, organist and conductor. His extensive schedule features performances not only around the UK, but across Europe and further afield in the USA, Far East and Australia. He has frequently appeared live on BBC Radio 3, as well as Radio 4, Classic FM, LBC and BBC Television.

As a pianist he specialises in song repertoire and chamber music. In 2017-19 he held a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, where he won prizes for song accompaniment and chamber music. As a concert organist he has given recitals at festivals across Europe and in multiple British cathedrals and town halls.

Richard grew up in Cambridge and was a chorister in the Choir of King’s College, where he sang the famous ‘Once in Royal David’s City’ solo at the 2007 Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. He spent a year studying organ and piano at the Mendelssohn Conservatoire in Leipzig before returning to King’s as organ scholar in 2014-2017 and graduating with a starred first in Music.

Richard is based in London, where he combines performing with teaching positions at Cambridge University, Tiffin and Westminster Schools and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

Richard is the Director of Music at St Saviour’s Church, Pimlico, where he runs the music outreach programme ‘Sing After School’. During the Covid-19 pandemic he has made numerous recordings for the 6000-strong Self-Isolation Choir. In May 2020 he started an online harmony course aimed at levelling up disadvantaged music students from diverse backgrounds, which has since been adopted by Cambridge University.

Assistant Adjudicator - Sarahjane Stephen Sarahjane attended Norwich High School before going on to read music at Manchester University. She continued her singing studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, completing her Postgraduate Diploma and Masters Degree in Singing Performance in 2003.
