​Jane Irwin

soprano


​I have been involved with Carleton Community Music for years.  These wonderful people are my friends.  
You couldn't get a more welcoming and community spirited group of people, who meet up for the sheer joy of making music. Community music is so enriching and important for the well-being of the members and the community.  
​It is with great pride and pleasure that I have been asked to be their patron. 

​Jane  xx
