Cecilia\u2019s career as a conductor has seen her span genres and disciplines. A true crossover artist, she is passionate about music in all its forms, focusing, as her colleague Craig Armstrong has said, simply on the \u2018excitement and integrity of the music itself\u2019. She\u2019s as at home in the recording studio as she is on the concert platform, working alongside classical musicians, singers, choirs, orchestras, multi media and\/or pop artists.<\/p>\n
Over the years she has worked with ensembles including The London Session Orchestra at Air Lyndhurst, The London Sinfonietta, The Scottish Ensemble, Clockwork Sessions, Basel Opera House, The Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Metro Voices, Scottish Voices and others. She has also conducted sessions for pop artists including Texas, Paul Buchanan and The Spice Girls.<\/p>\n
