If you’re a music lover, especially of the classical genre, and you haven’t heard of Katherine Jenkins, you should stop everything and buy one of her albums or look her up on YouTube or something. With truly the voice and face of an angel, the Welsh mezzo-soprano vocalist has performed with the likes of David Foster (where her career really began to take off back in 2009), Jackie Evancho, Plácido Domingo, and Andrea Bocelli, and now has twelve albums under her belt. She was appointed the suffix title of OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2014, a recognition of contributions to the arts and sciences, public service, and work with charitable and welfare organizations. Oh yeah, and she’s performed for the Queen, the Pope, and presidents and other royalty. No wonder she’s… ahem… this writer’s favorite female singer right now.

So what’s Jenkins’ new role?

Songs of Praise from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), having been on television screens since 1961, recently announced that Katherine Jenkins has been brought on the team as a main presenter. Jenkins was not only familiar with the series from watching it for many years, but she has made several guest appearances on the show over the past decade, and was quoted as saying, “I am hugely excited about my new role, about working with my friend Aled [Aled Jones, one of the program’s regular hosts] again and about meeting and worshipping with new people across the country.”
