Mary’s singing accomplishments have been somewhat eclectic. She began singing at
university in the Queen’s College chapel choir. Following this her talents were divided
between a chamber choir and amateur dramatics, singing, acting, accompanying, musical
director and general factotum.
Family commitments have made inroads into the amount of time spent singing, but Mary
has in the intervening years sung and accompanied a variety of choirs and groups
ranging
from madrigal groups, a school choir, and chamber choirs to full-blown choral societies
-
both for pleasure and for money!
She has been heard entertaining diners at a hotel, singing solos for the Ipswich
Choral
Society and Suffolk Opera and busking at a London underground station.
Mary has no ambitions whatsoever and hopes to continue to sing and play for her own
and other people’s pleasure.
