Our Accompanist -- Mrs Sally Tarlton
Sally studied the piano and ‘cello at the Royal College of Music. She then took a post graduate repetiteurs’ course at The London Opera centre. She worked in London for many years as an accompanist and coach and played for several opera groups and large choral societies, as well as regularly accompanying singing master classes and playing harpsichord continuo parts for many different choral societies.
She was a founder member of the Helios Orchestra in London and appeared as piano and harpsichord soloist with them several times including concerts at the Purcell Room on the South bank. She has also performed piano concertos with the Dinas Powys Orchestra including the Triple Concerto by Beethoven.
Sally lives in Llantwit Major and teaches there privately as well as being on the music staff at The Cathedral School.
During the last few years she has performed in many concerts with her husband, a professional violinist and their son who is a talented ‘cellist. They have played in many venues including North Wales, Brecon and Llantwit Major and will soon give a concert in Switzerland together.
As well as playing regularly for rehearsals for the Cardiff Bach Choir, she is deputy accompanist for the Barry Male Voice Choir and plays for “Autumn Sounds” in Llantwit Major, a choir for elderly but enthusiastic members!
She is also an accompanist for the competition ”Music in the Vale” and assists on their committee.
