The English mezzo-soprano/contralto, Jacqueline Connell, graduated in Music at York University, qualified as a
school-teacher and for a time pursued a successful career in music education.....
However, in her mid-twenties Jacqueline Connell joined the BBC Northern Singers, and although for a number of years she managed to combine this with her teaching post at Ampleforth College, eventually the lure of the concert platform proved greater than that of the chalkface. Thus began a career which has included solo appearances with the BBC Singers, BBC Northern Singers, Monteverdi Choir, Taverner Consort and Academy of Ancient Music, The English Concert Choir, and numerous recordings with these and other leading professional choirs, including that of St Bride’s, Fleet Street. |
