THE SINGERS
ANNA POPE
Soprano
When did you first discover / when did you start singing?
My earliest memories of singing are 'There's a hole in my bucket' with Grany while I helped with the washing (she even had a mangle) and the 'Let's Sing' books at Primary School
​
Why do you enjoy singing/what do you like about singing?
I love the many emotions you can feel and share when you sing - the nuance of the human voice and that personal connection. I feel both exposed and liberated - challenge and joy intertwined.
