Caz’s love of choral music began in Gloucester Cathedral while she was a student at the King’s School. Her choral compositions and arrangements have been performed by award-winning choirs, including songs for the Bookfest Remembers concert recorded live for BBC Radio in November 2015 and 2018. As well as pieces for choir and piano, Caz enjoys composing instrumental music. Her orchestral compositions have been performed by the Brunel Sinfonia and she has also completed compositions for film and theatre projects.
TEACHING
Caz is passionate about helping young musicians, having taught music in schools for over twenty years. She was Assistant Director of Music at Redmaids' High School, Director of Music at Adcote School, and Director of Music and Performing Arts at Dyatmika School in Indonesia.
Caz has directed school choirs and ensembles throughout her career. She was also a mentor on the inaugural 2012 ‘Soundtrack’ Project in Bristol, a project in which composers drew from the lives of elderly people as a stimulus for new compositions.
PERFORMING
As a viola player, Caz has played extensively with orchestras and other ensembles. She currently plays with the Somerset County Orchestra and in chamber music groups including ‘No Strings Attached’ string quartet.
