Choral guru

Susan Digby (Lady Eatwell) OBE, or Suzi as she is known to her friends, is a conductor, choir master and teacher. She regularly gives lectures and presentations on all aspects of the choral world, adjudicates choir competitions and gives workshops and team building sessions internationally.

She was a judge on the highly successful BBC TV series 'Last Choir Standing' - a competition for Britain's favourite choir, which attracted 10 million UK fans and many more world wide and she has presented 'The Cardiff Singer of the World Competition', the 'BBC Choir of the Year' competition, as well as contributing regularly on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM.

Suzi is founder and MD of Artsworks, providing leadership and teambuilding for multinational corporates (including Sainsbury's, HSBC and BP) with an emphasis on active listening and confident communication.

Suzi is the Founder and Principal of The Voices Foundation, the leading music education charity which she established in 1993, which works with schools to deliver sustainable solutions to teaching music at a Primary level. She has worked for many years as an Advisory Teacher in disadvantaged and challenging schools UK wide.

She is a Council Member of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, Trustee of Music in Country Churches and several other music and education charities. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and President of the Incorporated Society of Musicians.

She has worked internationally with children's and adult choirs for many years and founded Voce in 2003, widely acknowledged as London's best young and vibrant Chamber Choir.

Suzi's new foundation, Vocal Futures, aims to build young audiences (16-22) for classical music. She was awarded an OBE in 2007 in recognition of outstanding services to music education.

“Suzi Digby was a very successful guest speaker at Roedean School. She gave an engaging and lively presentation which drew on the specific features of the school and kept young and old entertained with activating and community singing.”

“I should like to thank Suzi for her participation at our recent Symposium for chorus directors. Her key note speech was very well received and added greatly to the enjoyment and knowledge of the attendees.”

“Feedback has been beyond my expectations and can best be summarised as: 'Took me out of my comfort zone before I even knew it' ~ 'Amazing parallels in music and what Suzi did with what we have to do as leaders and team players in banking' ~ 'Suzi's leadership, energy and communication skills were awe-inspiring' ~ 'The sessions gave me so much food for thought and areas for me to work on as a leader' ~ 'Great opportunity for us to join up in a focussed but enjoyable manner' ~ 'The dinner with Suzi was enlightening, not just because of her music experiences that translate to our leadership needs, but her own amazing leadership' ~ 'Really fun event too'. In short, I would say that is a wrap! Thank you for all that you have done to help us on our journey.”
