Audrey trained as a music teacher at St Andrew’s College of Education in Bearsden. She was Head of Music at Drumchapel High School, having previously worked in various schools around Glasgow. Audrey then studied post-graduate level singing at the RSAMD (now RCS) graduating with a Masters in Music in Concert Singing. Audrey grew up singing in the Glasgow Youth Choir with the wonderful Agnes Hoey, and she is honoured to follow in her footsteps, keeping Agnes’s legacy alive. It has been a great pleasure starting up our GYC Legacy alumni choir this year. So many ‘well-kent’ faces from over all the decades of the choirs’ existence! She has sung in choirs all her life and sings with the City of Glasgow Chorus, as well as a few ad hoc smaller groups. Audrey has recently rehearsed the Glasgow Philharmonic Male Voice choir as a guest conductor, and has led workshops with various other groups. A few years ago, she organised the Glasgow Choirs Spectacular, a massed choir concert in the City Hall, celebrating choral music in the city, which had been a dream of hers for many years. Audrey believes passionately that there is a place for every kind of choir, as long as people are able to enjoy singing together, especially following the pandemic. She is very keen that today’s choir members have the same kind of opportunities she was lucky enough to have when she was a member of the choir herself.. Audrey teaches singing in South Lanarkshire Schools. She has sung professionally in recital and oratorio, around Scotland and Northern England, most recently Mezzo-soprano soloist in Haydn’s Nelson Mass with the Penrith Singers in April.
