Dr Anita Datta is a prize-winning organist, conductor, composer, pianist, soprano soloist and choir trainer particularly known for her work with choirs and voices. She is the founder and Director of The Swan Consort, a chamber choir of elite singers specialising in early music but performing in a range of styles. An exceptional keyboard player, she began her organ studies at the age of 14 after obtaining a scholarship from the Royal School of Church Music and has held several posts in Anglican and Roman Catholic churches in the UK. Anita’s rich dual heritage as a British-born South Asian informs much of her composition work. Her PhD in Anthropology reflects her personal interest in issues of social-justice and inclusion.
