Eleanor Madoc

Eleanor Madoc Davies made her first public appearance as a singer at the age of three, when she sang solo in a Chapel Festival. At the age of twelve, a prominent business man heard her and recommended that she have singing lessons. She was soon in demand to sing throughout Wales.

Music has been Eleanors life. She trained in London and Birmingham before returning to Wales, where she continued with her singing career, but also started teaching music. In the year 2001 she graduated with a Masters Degree from the University of Wales, studying the Development of the Female Voice, and singing a recital in five languages.

One of the highlights of a busy singing career was performing the role of the Queen of the Nights (The Magic Flute-Mozart) with a Welsh Opera Company. Also travelling with different choirs throughout Europe as guest soloist.

Eleanor enjoys conducting and passing her knowledge and enjoyment of singing to the young people in her choirs and to the audiences to whom they perform.
