Summer 2021 in London

9/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Following my completion of studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance, I have spent the summer combining ongoing singing work with a role in events and marketing, and like many others, also took some much-needed time to enjoy the great weather.

Hammersmith BID Summer Festival 2021

In my new role in Hammersmith, I have experienced working in a busy events role, collaborating with organisations to organise public events while still dealing with many ongoing challenges presented by the Coronavirus Pandemic. 
For August, I led in creating, branding and organising a new part of the annual Summer Festival events for Hammersmith: the St Paul's Green Recital Series. 

The events featured musicians from across West London, including:
  • All-female vocal group Sorelle Singers
  • Harpist Imogen Emmett 
  • Vocalist Florence Taylor
  • A trio of musicians from the Irish Cultural Centre (ICC)

Music events took place in St Paul's Church, Hammersmith - organised for the community on behalf of Hammersmith's Businesses.

With more artistic events and projects coming up, I am excited for the next few months in this role, and for the flexibility to continue gaining experience as a performer in London alongside it. 

Live @St Marks

As an organiser of this new project, I am helping to market and deliver performances from London's young professional musicians - raising the musical profile of St Mark's Church NW8 while also providing paid performance opportunities for young musicians. 

More information about this new project is coming soon - keep an eye on my Twitter feed for updates.
