DETAILS : BRIEF HISTORY: Took part in Barbara Bonney Masterclass SAMLING Oct. 2000 EXPERIENCE: "A truly wonderful experience. I met some lovely people and worked in beautiful surroundings. Barbara was such an amazing person to work with,so warm and supportive.As each of us felt so at ease with her we managed to discover things about our singing. We all left with a real sense of achievement and a weekend to cherish". PAST ACHIEVEMENTS: I graduated from the R.S.A.M.D with a M.MUS(Advanced Opera) after completing a D.R.S.A.M.D(Performance) as an undergraduate. My many operatic roles include Lauretta(La Duenna),Donna Elvira(Don Giovanni),Micaela(Carmen),Lady Fulvia(La Pietra Del Paragone) adn the Governess(The Turn of the Screw). Also Alice Ford(Falstaff), Marzelline(Fidelio),Female Chorus(The Rape of Lucretia),Illia(Idomeneo),Fiordiligi(Cosi fan Tutte),Rosalinde(dei Fledermaus) and Manon(Manon) in scenes. I have also performed in many venues in Britain and abroad in recitals, oratorios and recitals. These include The New Years' Day celebration concert with the RSNO in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall under David Charles Abell. A concert performance of R. Strauss Elektra also for RSNO as a Handmaiden under Walter Weller with Alessandra Marc in the title role which was broadcast on radio 3. I have also toured Spain performing R.Strauss Vier Letze Lieder and Mahler's Fourth Symphony of which a cd was made. I have also performed in masterclasses with many distinguished artists such as Elly Ameling,Diane Forlano, Anne Grapotte, Benjamin Luxon, Roger Vignoles,Sir Thomas Allen and the King's Consort. Awards have included scholarships from the John Leishman Trust, an Incorporation of Weavers' Award, the Cross Trust and the Robertson Scholarship Trust. I was also a semi-finalist in the 2000 John Noble competition(Scottish Opera) and a finalist in the National Mozart Competition(1995).
CURRENT ACTIVITIES: I am currently living in London and studying With Paul Farrington. I decided after the masterclass to take some time out (so to speak) and concentrate on developing my voice. Barbara said that I had so much more voice to give, which I had felt for a long time. This development of course comes with maturity, however my voice has changed so much since working with Paul that I just needed this extra time! FORTHCOMING ACTIVITIES: Several recitals and oratorio engagements in Britain and Germany as well as lots of auditions!!!!!
