Keble College, Oxford


After the long summer break, Michaelmas Term 2026 is already busy with a new cohort of undergraduate and graduate singers settling into choir life, working in Keble's beautiful and unique chapel.

In addition to all the regular services, this term will see a concert with opera singer Aida Garifullina in the chapel on 12th December and then the release of our new recording, Aurora, early in 2027. Released on the CRD label, the recording will include works by David MacGregor, Deborah Pritchard, Elizabeth Maconchy and others.

Next year's summer tour will see the choir perform in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.


Continuing Professional Development

I have various short courses lined up for the autumn, exploring more aspects of vocal technique and the many different approaches to developing the grounded and versatile singer. These include:

  • Singing for Lung Health
  • Understanding and Working with Low Self-Esteem in Voice Users
  • Muscle Tension Dysphonia in the Singing Voice
  • Reconceptualizing and de-pathologizing music performance anxiety
