Hi - I'm Louisa from Melbourne, Australia. I am an aspiring classical singer, ex-microbiologist and ex-medical student. I love many kinds of classical music and sing in a chamber choir as well as in an opera chorus. Also play the piano.

UPDATE: I have recently completed my Graduate Diploma of Music (Singing Performance)! I'm going to put everything into singing for a while and see how far I can get.

Thanks so much to Siyyid, CanadianGirl, Dzo, hidden0levels and minako285 for your thoughtful gifts!
