‘If I cannot fly, let me sing’

I discovered this phrase in a Sondheim song and it expressed perfectly how I feel when playing, singing, performing and conducting music. Music has a major role in my life. It has been my refuge. It allows me to disconnect. It comforts me, calms me, enlivens me, inspires me, lets me express things that I cannot express in words, makes me want to dance, to cry and I do not think that a day has gone by that I have taken it for granted.

My aim, both as music educator and conductor, has always been to provide opportunities for my students and singers to share the experiences, discoveries and benefits from music in the way I have. For me, this community choir provides the possibility that anyone who loves music, loves singing, regardless of their level, ability to read music or level of musical knowledge, can come and sing and learn to fly!

If you’re up for it, come and join us, be armed with a sense of humour and bring a pencil.
