Soprano
I’ve performed across Europe and Asia in opera, oratorios, concerts, events, and remembrance ceremonies.
My work in opera includes the Dutch National Opera, Yo! Opera, the Dutch New Opera Academy and Present Opera.
Formerly an alto/mezzo, I’ve sung both soprano and alto solos in various oratorios, including Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, Handel’s Messiah, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Mozart’s Requiem, and Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater and Magnificat, Karl Jenkins’s The Armed Man, and Duruflé’s Requiem in the U.K., the Netherlands, and Italy.
My recordings include Echoes of War with pianist Han-Louis Meijer, and Fantasia, Variations, and Voices in a Modern Style with the symphonic rock band Simple Harmonic Motion, all produced by Floating World Records.
I also give recitals and lecture recitals.
I enjoy working with philanthropic organisations. I sing for the Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation in Mongolia and Vietnam, for the Gurkha Welfare Trust in Nepal, and for remembrance ceremonies and veterans across the U.K. and Europe.
I read music at the University of Cambridge and studied classical singing and composition at the Royal Conservatoire in the Hague. I currently study with the renowned mezzo-soprano and vocal pedagogue Marion van den Akker. I live in Leiden, near Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
