She is currently a third year undergraduate studying at the Royal Academy of Music with Raymond Connell and Marie Vassiliou. As a soloist, she has performed at the Hong Kong City Hall with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Deal Music and Arts Festival, where she performed Haydn’s Nelson Mass with the Purcell School.
Her recent choral scholarships include St James’s Piccadilly, St Martin-in-the-Fields Cantonese Choir (2025–26), Richmond Chamber Choir Choral Apprentices (2026) and the Christopher Wood Choral Foundation (2024–25). She also has a strong interest in opera, and has performed as part of the chorus with Regium Lepidi Opera in La Bohème (2024) and Die Zauberflöte with Royal Academy Opera (2025).
Prior to joining the Academy, she studied with Caleb Woo as a recipient of the Cecilia Kwok Church Music Scholarship and later continued her training at The Purcell School for Young Musicians with Tom Marandola. She obtained her ARSM Diploma in Classical Singing as well as her LTCL Diploma in both the Viola and Violin. Alongside her work as a performer, Angelina enjoys sharing her love of singing with young musicians and teaches singing at the Maria Vraka Music Academy.

He studies the organ under David Titterington at the Royal Academy of Music, wheKaner isIlluminog a Master of Arts degree. At the Academy, he holds the Elisabeth and George Wells Organ Scholarship and the Peter Le Huray Award, and won multiple prizes including the Dorothy Cooper Prize. He has participated in masterclasses with Daniel Roth, Masaaki Suzuki, and Jean-Baptiste Robin.
Jeremy is active in both liturgical and concert organ playing. He has previously held organ scholarships at St Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge, and King’s College London; with the latter he toured to Beijing, Conwy, and Dublin. He has given solo recitals in venues including St Paul’s Cathedral; St John’s Cathedral, Hong Kong; Neresheim Abbey, Germany; and St George’s Church, Hanover Square. Jeremy’s recording of Edmund T.

Having grown up as a singer, Jeremy is especially drawn to working with vocal music. He studies singing as a second study with Marcus van den Akker and has received tuition on choral conducting from Patrick Russell and Nicholas Chalmers. He previously directed the Chinese Choir at St Martin-in-the-Fields. Back in Hong Kong, he collaborates regularly with youth chamber choirs, founded the Illumino Singers in 2021, and later directed the Tidal Men Chorus, curating their inaugural project Ripples in 2022.
Central to Jeremy’s artistic identity is his commitment to contemporary music and collaboration with artists across disciplines. He is passionate about expanding the organ’s repertoire and audiences through new commissions and close collaborative work, often shaping projects to explore colour, registration, and the instrument’s theatrical possibilities. He has given world premiere performances of works by Edward Nesbit, Matthew Kaner, Eric Davids, and others, and is particularly drawn to projects that place the organ in dialogue with voice, film, and other instruments.
