Julia Thomson - Smith
Julia Thomson-Smith is a singer, arts professional and all-round musical enthusiast. She has been involved in choirs and musicals from a young age but her choral life really blossomed at Durham University where she was a choral scholar for St Cuthbert’s choir and was a co-founder of the University’s (now award winning!) a cappella choir.

She is passionate about the wellbeing properties that singing together has and is very excited to be the choir leader for Minims Musical Theatre Choir in Worcester!
