Susannah Self is developing a growing reputation for her large-scale choral works, to which audiences are responding with enthusiasm. Graduating from the Royal College of Music in voice and composition, she spent 25 years as a successful opera singer, mainly on the Continent, before deciding to devote herself primarily to composition. She gained degrees in Cambridge and Birmingham, and now conducts five choirs in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Her output includes a wide range of chamber music, operas, symphonies and choral works. She is published in Vienna by Universal Edition and in the UK by Composers Edition.
