CLASSICAL HOUR led by Laura Skuce
Town Hall @ 5pm

Laura started the piano at the age of 5, the oboe at 10 and joined the Junior Department at the Royal Academy of Music at 11, finally being accepted for full time studies at 16, studying with Lady Barbirolli and Janet Craxton. Her professional life began with singing at the piano, which has taken her across the world on the QE2 and led to an appearance on Opportunity Knocks and other television shows, both here and abroad. Laura is now much in demand as a singing teacher and has a new post as Musician in Residence at Cottesmore Private School, as well as teaching singing at Pennthorpe Preparatory School. She is also frequently called upon as oboist and accompanist for local orchestras and choral societies. A full-time mother of three, she spends her spare time playing in church and jiving, but says she can't stay awake long enough to read a book anymore!
