Steve Davislim (1967-2024)

We were greatly saddened by the news of Steve Davislim's death  at the age of 57.

Steve built a stellar international career performing with a roster of the world’s greatest conductors, opera houses and orchestras. In the music profession he was a highly valued colleague, an exemplary musician and always a charming and generous friend. His voice was of intoxicating beauty, warm and golden hued – always employed with great sensitivity and impeccable taste.

Steve featured in six Melba recordings of music ranging from beloved favourites to repertoire seldom if ever heard in generations. He imbued each with his characteristic elegance.
