I have been working with National Youth Choir since 2021 and I am beyond excited to join the team for the 9-15 choir. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the National Youth Choir singers and have been in awe of the high musical standards. I cannot wait to see what National Youth Choir's future holds and I am thrilled to be a part of this next stage.
