​Hello there! I’m a 3rd Year music student who sings and plays guitar. This year I’ll be managing the best unauditioned male choir in the University, Barbershop Ensemble! My role involves organising weekly rehearsals, arranging concerts (including collaborations with Viva Voce, Coro Sorelle and Sinfonia), helping to choose Barbershop's repertoire with our brilliant conductors and, most importantly, making sure that rehearsals are as relaxed and engaging as possible. Our complete repertoire is expansive and ranges from 50's doo-wop to classical. Are you interested in joining Barbershop? Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!
