CHORAL WORK
After many years working with voices of all styles and standards, Angharad was asked to take over the helm of the Military Wives Choir at R.A.F. Northolt which she led for two years.
She now continues to support the growth of music in the community by running the Lichfield Garrick Community Choir and the monthly open mic, the “Green Room Cabaret.”
ORCHESTRATOR/ARRANGER
As can be seen from the credits above, she is also a musical arranger and orchestrator. For many of the above projects, Angharad has created bespoke arrangements for ensembles of all sizes, both vocal and orchestral.
She also arranged and orchestrated all of the music for the West End gala concert performance of the musical The 8th Fold at the Duchess Theatre, which, shortly after, transferred to the Fringe festival in New York.
She also wrote original material, and performed, arranged and orchestrated three albums for the international franchise, babyballet.
She has recently completed vocal and additional arrangements for the musical Directions: The Musical in Summer 2018. Directions is an original musical, based on an album by David Courtney and Paul Kelly, with book by John Delaney; written and adapted for college and school age students and premiered at the Lichfield Garrick Theatre.
