She was the Artistic Director of the Whistler Classical Music Street Festival for four years, conducted Hong Kong’s first sing-a-long Messiah, and has prepared choirs for international events such as the Calgary International Organ Festival with former Westminster Abbey organist and conductor, Simon Preston.
