Meet the Team
Jeanette Martin
Musical Director
Jeanette’s love of singing, began at a young age. She has sung in various choirs, and Amateur Dramatic Societies in Teesside, including Tees Valley G & S Society, where she took Mezzo Soprano roles, and more recently, belonged to Felling Concert Choir.
Whilst teaching singing part time, she was encouraged to start her own choir by her friends and pupils, and so Bella Canta Ladies Choir was born.
She was also Musical Director of the newly formed Rhapsody Choir in
Hurworth, Darlington 2022 – 2023. Singing fills her heart with joy, and every song is her ‘favourite’
