I am a professional alto with the choir of St Mary’s Church, Bourne Street, where I sing for Sunday morning Mass services as well as other special services and events. I can also be found depping with other professional church choirs – recent examples include the Chapel Royal Hampton Court Palace, All Saints Margaret Street, Grosvenor Chapel Mayfair, and St John’s Wood Church.

I have also sang with professional choirs such as St Martin’s Voices of St Martin-in-the-Fields’ Church, The Temple Singers, echo vocal ensemble, Siglo de Oro, and have even featured alongside The Sixteen in two special Genesis Sixteen alumni collaboration performances of Handel’s Messiah and James MacMillan’s Choral Symphony (No. 5), the latter of which I can be heard on the professional live recording.

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of performing on several professional recordings, as both ensemble member and soloist. Particular highlights include appearing as soloist on two discs with Epiphoni on the Delphian Records label, Owain Park’s When Love Speaks and Bernard Hughes’s Precious Things (solo credits appear as Jess Haig), a disc of the Complete Consort Works of John Amner with Dublin Consort Singers and Fretwork, where I appeared in small solo-voice ensembles, and with St Martin’s Voices a recording of Will Todd’s Passion Music and Jazz Missa Brevis, amongst other choral miniatures.

I have appeared as a soloist in many a concert, with repertoire ranging from early baroque to the modern day. Recent special highlights include Duruflé’s Requiem, singing the solo ‘Pie Jesu’, conducted by Noah Max, performing the unaccompanied solo work My love is mine by Jonathan Dove as part of his 60th birthday celebrations at London Festival of Contemporary Church Music (in the presence of the composer himself!), and delivering the alto solos of Handel’s Messiah conducted by my husband, Tim Reader.
