Since the year 2000 SI Manchester has provided an award for a Soprano at the Royal Northern College of Music Junior School Prize Giving. and we are invited to be there to present it. A Legacy from former Member Helen Latto enabled us to do this and the Award bears her name.
This year’s recipient is 17 year old Grace O’Mally, from Rossendale. Grace has been at RNCM since she was 11 year’s old and has one more year there as a Junior. She comes from a family of singers and although both her sisters sang in choirs with her, they have not continued. She hopes to move into a career as a soprano, but is not sure in which field that will be yet. She will decide when she has completed further training in the adult field.
