Small but powerful classical singer who sits naturally as a very high soprano but can be persuaded to sing mezzo or even alto as I did at school. I sing in a range of groups, large and small, performing large-scale orchestral works with the likes of Vladimir Jurowski, Simon Rattle, Edward Gardiner and Marin Alsop, but also in far more intimate settings which are often one to a part, singing renaissance polyphony services. Although a self-confessed early music geek, I am familiar with works from all classical and non-classical genres and periods. I am an excellent sight-singer and can pick up most pieces, not only grasping complex rhythms and harmonies but also giving enthusiastic expression to every word I sing. I'm told my diction is unbeatable in all languages, even though I only really speak English! In terms of solo engagements, I have performed as a paid soloist for a number of weddings, funerals, church services and with other choral groups. References can be made available on request.
