A
graduate of Sydney Conservatorium where she studied organ with Norman
Johnston, Heather has been organist and director of music at Scots
Kirk Presbyterian in Mosman for the past twelve years. She is also pianist
with the Mirrabooka Singers, giving concerts in retirement villages and
nursing homes.
Every
Christmas and Easter Heather is busy playing for several performances of
Handel’s Messiah, both in Sydney and beyond - including several
occasions with the Hastings Choristers. During the past year she has
given solo recitals at St Stephen's Macquarie Street, St Andrew's and St
Mary's cathedrals, and just recently at Hornsby Uniting Church. On Palm
Sunday in Goulburn she was organist in a performance of music from Bach's
great St Matthew Passion.
Last
August Heather accompanied an
English choir, the Cranmer Company of Singers, when they performed in
Finland.
In
addition to a private teaching studio in Sydney’s Hills district,
Heather teaches piano at Georges River Grammar School and is an examiner
with the Australian and New Zealand Cultural Arts.
