Hilary Musgrave
LRAM ARCM 

Hilary Musgrave was born in Co. Durham and studied singing with Joy Mammen at the Royal Academy of Music. Subsequently, she gained a great deal of performing experience, especially in opera and sang leading roles with many opera groups in the London area as well as teaching stage movement at the Royal Academy of Music and the National Opera Studio.

Hilary is an experienced soprano soloist and in addition to teaching singing privately in South Harrow,  has been running Singing for Starters since 1996 a choral course set up for those who love singing but may be a little out of practice! In 1999 Hilary was asked to form and conduct Harrow Harmony. This has proved to be very enjoyable and the choir has gained in strength and confidence and now performs concerts in the local area three times a year.

Recent engagements have seen Hilary as soprano soloist in Haydn's "The Creation", in both Harrow and Bournemouth and in July 2007 she again appeared with Harrow Choral Society to sing John Rutter's "Requiem".  In October, she was soprano soloist in Vivaldi's "Gloria" and Faure's "Requiem" for the "Voices for Hospices" concert in Harrow.
