โจ๐ถ MEET SAM! ๐ถโจ
Sam first joined the choir at just 7 years old and has now come full circle, returning as our Director of Music after an incredible journey in music and beyond.
She is a mezzo-soprano opera singer, veterinary nurse, part-time baker at the UK's only deaf bakehouse (Widnall Bakery), and fluent BSL user. Sam brings a wealth of experience, passion and enthusiasm to our choir community. After studying Veterinary Science and later completing a Master's in Music, she has performed across the UK and around the world.
Sam is very passionate about making music accessible to everyone. After meeting her deaf husband, she became fluent in BSL and now regularly sings and signs.
When she's not making music, you'll find her gaming, swimming, running, or walking her Labrador, Crumpet. ๐
Her favourite choral piece is Faire is the Heaven by William Harris, while outside the choir stalls she enjoys artists such as Coldplay and the Goo Goo Dolls, with Iris being one of her favourite songs.
When asked what she would say to someone thinking about joining the choir, Sam said:
"Go for it. I've performed all over the country and parts of the world, met some amazing people, and made some dear friends. I certainly wouldn't be where I am today without the grounding I received through choir. It is a commitment, but you reap the benefits and become part of an amazing and strong community that helps shape your future."
We're delighted to have Sam leading our music ministry and helping others discover the joy of singing together. โค๏ธ
