Archangel Highlight: Margaret Aronson

Margaret is an Australian soprano, an experienced soprano, and one of the pioneering members of ESO. This Year, we are delighted to celebrate her contribution to the society with a special highlight.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Margaret came to Britain to continue her vocal studies and studied at the University of Edinburgh, where she gained an MA. She has worked with Scottish Opera for eight year and has taught at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, St Mary’s Music School and National Youth Choir of Scotland for many years.

She has travelled extensively in Britain singing oratorio with many choral societies, as well as recital work and ensembles, particularly the Caledonian Trio. She has adjudicated for the Highgate Scholarship Competition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and mentored for their Classical and Contemporary Text programme, as well as for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. Margaret was the training director of the Association of Teachers of Singing.

Margaret has been the backbone of many ESO productions, offering unwavering support and guidance. She continues to teach privately, including preparing students for conservatoire and theatre auditions, as well as examinations.
