West Norfolk Singers at Long Sutton May 2014

There have been many musical directors and accompanists over the years and for a dozen or so years,up until May 2018, Nigel Wickens was our Musical Director and William Moss has been our accompanist. With Nigel retiring, we had to seek out a new Musical Director and were recommended Roger Dear who lived in Heacham. He took us through our Autumn 2018 series of Concerts until Jean Hornbuckle arrived to take over from the Spring 2019 Concerts. Jean decided to retire at the end of the Summer 2025 when Loc-Mai Yuen moved from being Accompanist to being both Musical Director and Accompanist. Our Musical Director and Pianist Loc-Mai Yuen Born in Bracknell, Berkshire, Loc-Mai took a natural interest in the piano from an early age, greatly supported by her parents. She studied French and Music at Westminster College, Oxford, and later, also qualified as a Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music. Loc-Mai prides herself on sharing and passing on her musical skills and love of Classical music to students and audiences alike. Currently, she has a wide student base from North Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. As pianist, Loc-Mai enjoys playing at local National Trust properties on a regular basis, providing background music for afternoon teas/events, as well as performing in piano recitals. Over the years, Loc-Mai has taken much pleasure in accompanying instrumentalists, vocalists and small ensembles, and has also been pianist for various operatic societies and choirs. For many years, she was director of the 40 strong Wisbech based mixed voice choir, the Clarkson Singers, which she enjoyed immensely, only resigning due to relocation out of the area. Currently, Loc-Mai is very pleased to be both Musical Director (starting Septemebr 2025) and Pianist to the West Norfolk Singers after starting out with us as Accompanist working with Jean Hornbuckle until Jean's retirement.
