Singer (soprano)

Alton

✨ Soprano 💐 Weddings & farewells 🎶 Classical / cinematic - from Mozart to Middle Earth 📍 Hampshire, UK ✉️ DM to start planning your event I love helping choose their music for their big event - what better way to get to know someone?! I have a music degree, my grade 8, and a wealth of experience performing. As a teenager, I was invited to sing for Pope John Paul II and also performed solos in New York, St Petersburg and Paris. As an adult, I performed with the London Philharmonic Chorus and Waynflete Singers in Winchester. I love singing the standard repertoire but I’m also a big nerd so love recreating the music of Lord of the Rings, James Bond, and Dr Who! I love learning languages and I’m comfortable performing in French, Italian, German, Welsh! Favourites to perform: Mendelssohn O for the Wings of a Dove Bach/Gounod Ave Maria Suo Gan Rutter The Lord Bless you and keep you Several works by Fauré Several works by Mozart (solos from the Requiem are a personal favourite!)
