Cicely Hoye (soprano)
Edwin Benbow (pianoforte) Cicely Hoye has been broadcasting since Savoy Hill days, both singing and playing the piano. It was as pianist that she won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, taking a number of prizes but, curiously, never one for her singing, which was her second study. It was with a piano recital that she made her debut at Wigmore Hall.
Edwin Benbow , who for four years held an open piano scholarship at the Royal College of Music, has been Piano Professor and Examiner there since 1929. He hat been broadcasting regularly since 1926, and has played at three Proms.
From 1933 to 1935 he was assistant chorus-master and pianist on the BBC staff. In May this year he gave a first performance of Alec Rowley 's piano concerto to the Empire.
He has been associated this season with the Ballet Rambert, whose most signal production was that of Lady into Fox, at the Mercury Theatre, London. He played at every performance.
His wife, Janet Powell , soprano, is a well-known broadcaster.
