Born in Bombay, Patricia Rozario studied at London’s Guildhall School of Music, winning the gold medal. Her unique voice and artistry have inspired several of the world’s leading composers to write for her, most notably Arvo Pärt and Sir John Tavener, who alone has now written over 30 works for her, making their collaboration unique in the contemporary field.

She has performed throughout the world in concerts and opera. Hatzis’s Troparion of Kassiani was composed for her voice and the artists on this CD, with whom she gave the world première at St Paul’s Cathedral, London in 2004, and she also gave the first United States performance in 2005 with Cappella Romana under Alexander Lingas.
