Jamie MacDougall balances a busy life as a one of the UK's most versatile singers and performers with his job as radio host and the voice of classical music for BBC Radio Scotland.

Tecwyn Evans has established himself as one of the most successful New Zealand musicians of his generation. He began his career in the UK immediately after finishing his studies, when Sir Andrew Davis appointed him Chorus Master for Glyndebourne Festival Opera in 1999 - a position he held for four years. In 2005 he made the final of the Leeds Conductors’ Competition, where in the final he conducted Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition with the Orchestra of Opera North. Since then he has conducted numerous UK orchestras. He made his BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra debut in December 2008 at concerts in Ayr and Aberdeen.
