 The Pipe Works organ recital series will be launched this year with a special treat for audiences, as Joanna Paul brings us a unique combination of vocal and organ artistry! A Singaporean herself, Paul mainly resides in the U.K, where she leads her career as organist, soprano soloist, music teacher, adjudicator and choral conductor. She has given recitals at St. Paul’s cathedral, Westminster Abbey and throughout the U.K, as well as Canada, Norway, Salzburg, Germany, and throughout Southeast Asia. She has also appeared as soprano soloist in major works such as Bach’s St Matthew Passion, Haydn’s Nelson Mass and Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
