Rozanna Madylus

She was born in Leicestershire, England, of Ukrainian descent. After completing her undergraduate degree in English Literature and Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, Rozanna decided to dedicate herself to classical singing.  During her time at the Academy, she was a member of Academy Song Circle and a finalist in the Patrons Award.  Rozanna was also awarded The Karaviotis Prize at Les Azuriales Young Artist Competition, Nice, France, in August 2012 and, in the summer of 2013, attended the Solti Accademia in Castiglione della Pescaia.  Rozanna was on the Young Artist Platform at The Oxford Lieder Festival and, since then, she has been invited to perform in various concert halls around the UK and abroad, including the Holywell Music Room, Kings Place, The Mendelssohn-Remise Berlin, the Prokofiev Hall at the Mariinsky Theatre and the St Petersburg Philharmonic. 

I am extremely grateful and excited to have the guidance and expertise of CMF to help me navigate a fulfilling career in the arts, particularly in our brave new world of unknowns and uncertainties. It was clear from the very first meeting that CMF is fully invested in the unique career development and management of each of its artists, working tirelessly to tailor to our specific, individual needs.
