Donna first performed with Song in the City when she attended the Guildhall. Since then, she has often had the pleasure of collaborating with Gavin on a variety of projects, such as Songs and Sounds - a concert series focused on bringing new music to new audiences through thematic, socially relevant programming. As a champion of the wonderful work of Song in the City, she is utterly thrilled to be a trustee.
