Katherine is set to perform on Saturday, July 14, in Victoria Park, Haywards Heath, for what will be her seventh performance in the town.

Having signed the biggest recording deal in classical music history at the young age of 23, Katherine officially became the most successful artist in UK Classical chart history when her latest album, ‘Celebration’ become her 12th UK Classical No.1 album in 12 years.

She has performed for the Pope, presidents and royalty – including performing by special request at Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations.

Most recently, Katherine wowed audiences and critics alike with her stellar performance as Julie Jordan in Lonny Price’s semi-staged production of Carousel at the London Coliseum.

Accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra, she will appear alongside special guest John Owen-Jones, best known for playing the titular role in The Phantom of the Opera and Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.

The announcement comes after tickets went on sale this month for It’s Magic Events’ annual Summer Festival of Music, a five-day community initiative staged to raise funds for local good causes.
