Recorded Artists and Performers

Listen to a wide selection of talented professional vocalists, recorded by Hubbard International. Our company in Rochester, Kent, has previously worked with performers in a vast range of musical genres, including performers and accompanists who have featured in concerts. Recordings of some of these performances are now available on CD. Read about some of our main performers below and get in touch to learn more.

Christine Hubbard

Christine Hubbard

International Soprano (1947 - 2021)

Our expert, Christine, had an enormous repertoire across the whole spectrum of classical music and opera, right through to shows – she even did some folk and was an expert on Schubert Lieder. She also tutored students and had enormous success with sending pupils on to music colleges to further their careers. We even had six pupils get as far as the Judges’ Houses on The X Factor, three of whom made it to the live shows!

Christine started her career with the Welsh National Opera and was a principal during her teens. She previously attended medical school and qualified as a professor of Neonatal Neurosurgery. She began singing and performing again in the early 90s, when she realised she wanted to make a career from her passions.

Before she passed away in 2021, Christine was working on a range of recordings for release on CD, and we hope to bring these to fruition in the future.

Acclaim for Christine

“Not being a huge fan of classical music, I wasn’t sure what I was letting myself in for; however, I needn’t have worried. It was a real pleasure to listen to Christine Hubbard’s beautiful soprano voice singing a range of songs from well-known classics to contemporary music from stage and screen.”
