Deborah Aloba

Deborah presents Smooth Classics on Sundays at 8pm.

She says “I love most music, jazz, folk, blues, pop. some rock, especially Queen,  Pink Floyd and Bowie but my absolute passion is opera and classical music. Why?  because most of this music is dramatic, beautiful, intense, passionate, insightful.  As an opera singer I’ve had the joy of being able to sing some amazing opera roles/classical songs.  I even set up a community opera company  called Vision Opera which I ran for 12 years in East London and took opera workshops  into Schools and Prisons.

I’ve a Masters in Vocal Pedagogy and  teach all styles of singing to students of all ages and specialize in teaching Neuro Diverse children especially those who are dyslexic

I have been part of the Team at CCR for just under a year and I love it.  It is a privilege to share some of the pop music of earlier centuries, which is today’s  classical music, and such fun when I listen to a piece of contemporary pop music and realise it is based on a music by someone like Bach,  like the hip hop song “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” which samples the “Air on the G string” from Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3.”

Join Deborah  at 8pm on Sundays to share the delicacy, excitement, drama and passion of opera and classical music and even listen to the odd interview by some of the talented classical artists in Chelmsford.  She’ll even let you know what classical concerts are happening in the City
