You studied in both your native Melbourne and also in Basel, so how did you end up living and working in London?

I had a good education in choral singing back in Melbourne, so London was the obvious choice as there is an impressive choral tradition here, with so many high quality professional choirs. Not only that, but being close to Europe means I can easily travel over to work with some ensembles that I have dreamed of working with since I started to explore Early Music. I do often miss Australia though!
