Below is a list of recordings of performances in which I have been either a soloist or member of the choir. To save space, I’ve provided links, rather than embedding the recordings… but I’m making one exception, because this Flanders & Swann piece about an operatic soprano who has just a little bit of a tuning problem is far too much fun not to share right up front!

This was a bit of fun cooked up for a work function in February 2011. I’m quite proud of my non-singing scientists who did a pretty fine job on the harmonies on about an hour of practice. Though the less said about the attempted dancing (and those wigs), the better…
