Interview of our new Chair Person Antonella, June 2021
****************************
From April 2021 Barcarolle Choir will welcome its new Chairperson, Antonella Harrison.
Antonella, originally from Italy, has been living in London since 1990, and singing with the Barcarolle Choir for the past two and a half years.
There is no doubt that Antonella’s contagious positivity, energy and enthusiasm will be transmitted to the Choir. All these qualities will help Barcarolle Choir face its future challenges and projects with panache.
The Choir would like to thank Hélène Coste who has been the Chair for the past six years. Under her guidance Barcarolle Choir has grown in number and ability and has amplified its repertoire with a very wide current range of genres. Hélène’s singing skills and friendly and humorous personality will be deeply missed by all the members.
