I have been part of Carpe Harmonia since its first concert and I feel absolutely proud to have seen it grow through the years.  I have thoroughly enjoyed performing in various concerts over the years, particularly our most recent one- Dreams of Sleep, where it was our most challenging repertoire to date. 

My aim as Chair (since March 2020) is to preserve the choir's eclectism,  support charities/freelancers and  community outreach.

​

As the Musical Director for Carpe Harmonia my responsibilities cover everything from repertoire selection, designing show themes and planning for a season, to running rehearsals and ensuring our members develop as musicians. Carpe Harmonia has always been a passionate project for me ever since I formed the group in 2015 to bring singers together to explore diverse choral music in a supportive environment.

I achieved my BA (hons) in English Literature and Music at Brunel University before studying a Music PCGE at the Institute of Education (IOE) to become a secondary school Music teacher; I am now studying a Masters in Teaching at UCL/IOE. Additionally, I have qualified as a Kodály Method practitioner and continue to bring musicianship training to Carpe Harmonia as a result to ensure members are musically literate and confident in their musical abilities.

I have been singing in choirs since I was 11, and after moving to London I tried a few choirs that didn't feel like the best fit. Then a friend invited me along to a Carpe Harmonia rehearsal, and I found a choir home. I love the eclectic repertoire and the many social activities. I was excited to step up as Marketing and Events officer, and bring Carpe Harmonia's music to an even larger audience.

I'm so thrilled to have found everything I wanted from a choir in Carpe Harmonia -  a welcoming choir for all adult singers wanting to engage with an eclectic range of challenging and fun repertoire. As membership officer I try to support all our members to get the most from the choir and am excited to welcome all new members into this exciting musical endeavour. By day I do stuff with numbers.
