Soprano: Margaret

Margaret is an internationally acclaimed Irish Classical Crossover soprano, who signed a record deal with Universal Records. She was a primary school teacher for four years in Ireland before taking a career break to enter the music industry. In 2008, Margaret joined the BBC talent show “How do you solve a problem like Maria,” where she worked alongside Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and top West End coaches. Out of 6,000 participants, Margaret made it to the final cut and was awarded the “BBC Fame Academy Award.”

That same year, she won the RTÉ Radio 1 “Search for a Musical Star” and performed the role of Carrie in the RTÉ Production of Carousel with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Following these performances and competitive successes, Margaret was awarded the “New York Artist Award.” This honor allowed her to travel to Broadway, New York, where she trained and worked with Broadway stars and Opera New York vocal coaches.

Margaret continued to collaborate with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, making her debut as the lead soloist in a “Celebration to Sondheim” at The National Concert Hall of Ireland. In 2009, she performed at the Lakeside Proms Concert in New Zealand in front of an audience of 35,000. Following this performance, New Zealand’s top-selling magazine “Simply You” approached her to model designer clothes and to feature in their magazine. She completed her second tour of New Zealand in May 2010.

With her stunning Irish colleen looks and a heavenly voice to match, she soon emerged as the newest international classical sensation.
