Biography
Kristina started singing from a very earlier age in the local church choir and in 1992 became one of the first girl choristers at Wakefield Cathedral (at that point only the second cathedral girls' choir in the country). She has sung in a variety of choirs since including St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral Choir, Glasgow, the Glasgow Chamber Choir, the choir of Jesus College Cambridge and the Birmingham Oratory Choir. She currently sings regularly with the Lichfield Cathedral Chamber Choir, Sarum Voices and each summer with Musica Deo Sacra at Tewkesbury Abbey. She also performs on an ad hoc basis for a number of other groups.
