Ophelia Gordon made history as the first alumna of the BRIT School to release a commercial classical album.

Known for producing icons like Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Jessie J, BRIT isn’t typically associated with classical music — but Ophelia is changing that. Her journey began in the school’s vibrant creative environment, where she first explored what it meant to express truth through sound. Years later, she returned not as a student, but as a trailblazing pianist carving out new space for classical music within the BRIT legacy.
