My interests as a musician have led me to some extraordinary places and I hope to share some of my performing experiences with you on these pages, as well as giving news of forthcoming concerts and opera performances.
I am a Londoner, and apart from studying in Cambridge I have always lived in London, so when Opera Circus invited me to tour Bosnia with a new opera by Nigel Osborne in 2007 I jumped at the chance to explore this cultural watershed of a country; you can read my blog about it, fresh even for my calm demeanour – singing unfamiliar Shostakovich from the pit, and recording Elgar at three hours’ notice, for a start – there is always something positive to take from them.
I firmly believe in the power of music as a connecting force for the good of the whole community, not merely as entertainment, and that’s why I have always been pleased to be involved with workshops, coaching, and teaching other singers, and in arranging vocal music, and I hope that my career will always allow me those opportunities. Feel free to contact me for more information or just to discuss music and singing. I look forward to communicating with you!
