In 2015, Creative Director Jamie Serafi left the UK for a brand new life in Canada. Having setup and established a beautiful community choir organisation already in the UK - called 'Alive and Singing', he was now left with the heartbreaking decision of first letting all his dear friends in the choir know he was leaving - and then trying to find another dynamic leader to take over and ensure 'Alive and Singing' would LIVE ON! Cue Barbara Fleet - one of the members of the choir at the time who just happened to be at the point of her school music teaching career when she was ready to leave the profession and make a living as a musician. They say "timing is everything" in life and this was no exception as the stars aligned beautifully. Listen to the journey of how Barbara 'saved the choir' (which is still very much active today) from closing after Jamie moved to Canada!
