Clare Rachel Greener is an experienced soprano soloist and teacher of all musical styles and genres, currently living in Huby, a few miles north of York. Having sung in church choirs since the age of seven, Clare has performed a variety of classical and contemporary solo roles, and has also gained valuable experience in chamber music and smaller groups.
Born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Clare's musical career began in St Margaret's Church, Buxted, East Sussex, in 1990. At the age of 11, Clare was accepted into St Dunstan's Parish Church Choir, Mayfield, where she trained as a chorister under the instruction and watchful eye of Kenneth Pont (also Director of Music at St Leonards-Mayfield School and conductor of Mayfield Festival Chorus). As a chorister at St Dunstan's, Clare was fortunate to have the opportunity to record several services for BBC radio. |

Whilst studying at St Leonards-Mayfield School, Clare was appointed head of Lower School Choir at the age of 12, and toured France, aged 16, as the soprano soloist in Neufchâtel-en-Bray (Rutter’s Gloria), Rouen Cathedral and Notre-Dame, Paris. Having become Head Chorister of Schola Cantorum I at 17, Clare had the privilege of singing the Brahms Requiem in the widely-acclaimed Mayfield Festival, under the baton of Sir David Willcocks, as well as joining him for supper after the evening performance!
Clare took singing lessons with Linda Pont, achieving Grade 7 in 2001. Additionally, she studied the piano and bassoon to examination level, contributed to the school's Chamber Orchestra, achieved G.C.S.E. Music and passed Grade 5 Theory with Distinction.
More recently, Clare was an adult soprano of Selby Abbey Choir and appeared as a soloist with The Easingwold Singers. Having passed her ABRSM Grade 8 Singing with Merit, Clare is now working towards her ATCL diploma.
Clare moved to Yorkshire in September 2002 to read French, German and Linguistics at the University of York. During these four years, she sang in numerous concerts with the University Choir, led by Dr. Peter Seymour, in both the University's 'Central Hall' and York Minster. She was also involved in running the York Glee Singers, where she developed as a soprano soloist and a chamber singer, as well as gaining committee experience as Treasurer and Music Librarian. During her year abroad, Clare sang choral works with the Universitätschor, Regensburg, as well as performing as a soloist in a smaller group, ‘Jazznuts’.
In her final year as an undergraduate, Clare became involved with the University of York Gilbert and Sullivan Society, taking principal roles in concert performances and staged productions, as well as starring in the chorus. In 2007, Clare was a founder of a musical theatre company, the Jorvik Gilbert and Sullivan Company, in which she is preparing for principal roles and arranging concerts. She is delighted to be directing and performing the role of 'Ella' in the company's 2009 production of Patience in the Joseph Rowntree Theatre.
