Alison grew up in a Worcester family who were all involved with Three Choirs, so she has known and loved the festival all her life. A soprano with the Worcester contingent of the Festival Chorus, she is delighted to have the opportunity to contribute further to the festival as a member of the Board, where she has a special interest in widening access to quality music-making and encouraging greater participation amongst the local communities of the three cities. Alison lives in Worcester with her husband and two teenage sons. She enjoys reading, all things Jane Austen, and supporting Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
