The biggest selling classical artist of the century, Katherine Jenkins sets off on her highly anticipated
headline tour this November. Bringing back the magic of live music to venues across the UK, Katherine
will be performing songs from her latest album and favourites from throughout her incredible career.
2021 will also see Katherine tour internationally performing in the US, Japan, Taiwan, China, the UAE,
Australia and New Zealand before returning to the UK.
Katherine says, “I spent the vast majority of the pandemic doing weekly live performances from my
home on social media to support the NHS and to show love for my fans and everyone going through
such a difficult time. I also did it for myself and for my own well being because nothing feels better
than performing live. That same spirit is what I promise to bring to this forthcoming tour, my first in
more than 2 years. After what we’ve all been through we have earned and deserve a night of joy.”
Confirming her position as the biggest selling classical artist this century, Katherine broke her own
Classical Chart record when her latest album, ‘Cinema Paradiso’ topped the Classical Albums Chart.
Cinema Paradiso is Katherine’s 14th Number 1 Classical album, making her the UK's most successful
classical artist in chart history. The latest album also became her highest charting album in over a
decade, outselling the rest of the Classical Top 50 combined.
Katherine Jenkins is cherished as one of Britain’s all-time favourite singers and is one of the world’s most
prolific artists in UK Classical chart history. She was also crowned as the No.1 selling 'Classical Music
Artist of the Last 25 Years’ by Classic FM.
As one of the UK’s greatest musical exports, multi-award winning Katherine has performed all over the
world, for the Pope, for Presidents and is a favourite of the Royal Family, having been invited to sing 'God
Save The Queen' at Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, perform at Her Majesty's Coronation Concerts at
Buckingham Palace and by special request at Her Majesty's 90th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle.
She has embarked upon numerous sold out tours and duetted with such names as Andrea Bocelli, José
Carreras, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Bryn Terfel, Rolando Villazon, and Il Divo, amongst others.
Katherine was awarded an OBE at the 2014 New Year’s Honours List for her services to music and charity
and 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 in 2017.
During lockdown, while homeschooling her children, Katherine brought some much needed light
performing every Saturday night live online from her house with the help of her family. The successful at
home concerts, amassed over 5 million views and reached a global audience.
Katherine also joined forces with the late Dame Vera Lynn to release a duet of 'We'll Meet Again', which
went on to top the iTunes chart when released. 100% of Katherine Jenkins and Decca Records’ proceeds
from the single were donated to NHS Charities Together to support the incredible NHS staff and
volunteers caring for COVID-19 patients.
On 8th May, Katherine led tributes to commemorate VE Day 75, and made history by becoming the first
person in its 150 years to perform to an empty Royal Albert Hall. The half-hour performance was
streamed to audiences around the world via YouTube. The concert, to date, raised over £30k for SSAFA
and £25k for The Royal Albert Hall. The concert brought a message of hope and togetherness, with a
virtual duet of ‘We’ll Meet Again’ with Dame Vera Lynn – a message that has resonated around the
nation as people are again separated from their loved ones at a time of crisis.
Katherine recently starred in the hit film ‘Minamata’, which received its world premiere at the Berlin
International Film Festival with glowing reviews from the film industry and fans alike. This film not only
sees Katherine star in her first movie role, but she also co-wrote the film’s end credit song, ‘One Single
Voice’ with Eminem’s right hand woman Skylar Grey, and performed on the film score written by
Sakamoto, the Academy Award winner, singer, songwriter, record producer, activist, and actor.
‘Minamata’ is yet another example of why Katherine is one of the world’s most prolific artists - a true
example of her multifaceted talents.
It was an honour to be a part of Ryuichi’s beautiful Minamata score,” adds Katherine of her inclusion on
the soundtrack. “Collaborating with this master with the goal to bring voice to the Minamata patients
and the countless others affected by industrial pollution was an inspiring experience which I will always
cherish."
