Julia O'Connor-Beach of Tyndale Choral Society |

Julia has served as the honorary secretary of Tyndale Choral Society for over three years. It is no exaggeration to say that in those three years, by sheer energy effort and enthusiasm, she has transformed the society. She has extended its reach into the local community, created a calendar of social activities almost from scratch and built a solid management infrastructure to support music making.
Julia has also provided the drive to ensure that concerts are adequately funded; from small individual initiatives to her successful application for a £1,300 lottery grant.
Further initiatives have been the introduction of several Saturday choral workshops, and most importantly to her winning the Lady Hilary Groves prize is her commitment to encouraging those who have never sung before.
After persuading the society to support the initiative, she engaged a tutor, organised publicity and recruited existing group members as mentors. An amazing 24 new recruits made it through the course and are now singing with the society, rehearsing Kodaly's Music Makers and Psalmus Hungaricus for its next concert.
