Farewell, Suzzie

Suzzie Vango has been vocal coach to the Wyre Forest Young Voices for the past five years. In that time she has made a major contribution to the development of the choir - helping to produce the beauty of tone which is such an admired feature of the Young Voices, looking after the voices of individuals within the choir, and generally being a much-loved "older sister". In her five years in Kidderminster she has remained very committed to the choir, despite a burgeoning career which has included singing with Ex Cathedra and Polyphony, developing a career as a solo singer, directing singing weeks for the National Children's Choir and directing the boys’ choir of the Farnham Youth Choir. We shall miss her enormously - but we are pleased that James Jones, who is equally distinguished as a singer and a musician, will take her place from September.
