It’s many years now since I decided to really make something of my life-long love of singing. I suddenly felt the desire to work at my singing and solo performance in a way that I never had before. I began studying singing privately in Edinburgh with Eric von Ibler, and in 2016 I gave my first solo recital.
Since then I have given many recitals, as part of the St Giles’ at Six programme each year, at Laudate Hall in Edinburgh, at St Mark’s Unitarian Church, the Scottish Arts Club and Greyfriars Kirk. I have made two live recordings of recitals on CD. Nowadays I study with soprano Emma Morwood and receive coaching from Madeleine Sjöstrand.
I have performed at many events in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and more recently in London.
I sing a wide variety of music, ranging from some well-known opera arias, German Lieder, French Art songs as well as songs from the American Song Book and musical theatre songs and, closer to home, many wonderful Scots and English songs.
