Biography

I graduated with a BA in Music from the University of Bristol in 2020 and have continued to develop my skills in performance (solo and ensemble), composition, and musical directing.

When the pandemic kept us from singing and playing together, I dove headfirst into the world of music production, taking online courses with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and lending my musical ear to a new form of collaborative music-making. One Lockdown Cabaret, an A Cappella single, and many a virtual choir later, I may still have nightmares about low-quality phone recordings, but being able to bring my arrangements to life more than makes up for it.

Pursuing my interest in Jewish sacred music, both ancient and contemporary, I completed Hadar’s Davening fellowship for Emerging Leaders last year and am working towards the European Academy for Jewish Liturgy’s Baal T’filla Diploma.

My first live performance post-pandemic was an original composition for voice and cello - a collaboration with acclaimed poet Jane Liddell King - as part of the Cambridge Festival in April 2022. I discovered Menachem Weisenberg’s arrangements of classical Israeli songs for Mezzo-soprano (recorded by Mira Zakai in 1989) for a charity concert the following June, and have since endeavoured to perform this wonderful repertoire whenever possible. In that same concert, I had the privilege of singing (through megaphones) the powerful Love Song duet from ‘The Shouting Fence’ by Orlando Gough. A couple of weeks later I gave a two-part recital of classical solo cello and Jazz voice as part of New North London Synagogue’s Intermezzo concert series.
