Three years ago, I decided to to turn my life upside down. I quit my job and started a two year MMus course studying with Alison Wells at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. My final recital was originally scheduled for September 2013, however, I chose to defer it for a year after the birth of my daughter Tabitha and stay on at Trinity for an extra year.
Twelve crazy months later, I have finished an extra postgraduate degree, performed Leonore in Beethoven’s Fidelio, sung Ravel’s Schéhérazade, performed in countless recitals, auditions, showings, classes, masterclasses, formed two fabulous new duos and raised a baby to a toddler (greatest achievement yet).
Please come and celebrate the end of my three years at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with me by attending my FINAL final recital at the Chapel of St Peter and Paul at the Old Royal Navel College on Thursday 11th September 2014 at 3.15pm.
