Soprano: Margaret

Margaret is an internationally recognized Irish Classical Crossover soprano who signed a record deal with Universal Records. She was a primary school teacher in Ireland for four years before taking a break to enter the music industry. In 2008, Margaret entered the BBC talent show "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria." During this time, she worked alongside Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and top West End coaches. Out of 6,000 contestants, 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 allowed her to travel to Broadway, New York, and train and work with Broadway stars and Opera New York vocal coaches.

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

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