Born in Edinburgh and studied languages and music,  before training at the Stuttgart Conservatory and Opera School and then later with Vera Rozsa, Ryland Davies and Esther Salaman. She made her operatic début at the Ludwigsburg International Festival production of Semele, which was broadcast on German TV and then worked with various UK opera companies. It was also in Germany that Gillian made her oratorio debut as a  soloist with various choral societies as well as the Stuttgart Opera Orchestra. Now based in the Midlands, she  performs throughout the UK to considerable acclaim, singing all mainstream repertoire from Handel’s Messiah to Verdi’s Requiem and beyond. Some recent performances include Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis at Perth City Hall, Handel’s Messiah at Huddersfield Town Hall, Handel’s Judas Maccabeus at St. Paul’s Knightsbridge, Vaughan Williams’s Sea Symphony at the Central Halls, Edinburgh and Verdi’s Requiem at Exeter Cathedral.
