South Canterbury singer is top of the rangeBrad Reeve Soprano Emma Gilkison performs "Love Never Dies" at Timaru's Theatre Royal during the South Canterbury Drama League's July production Showstoppers 2. She had auditioned for the South Canterbury Drama League's production of Mamma Mia, and rehearsals meant she couldn't also be involved in the Messiah, which was slated for July. As Wood, who was the "practise conductor" for the recital, recalls it, she was "hopeful we would have South Canterbury soloists", but knew the soprano role Gilkison sought was a demanding one. It's a role she's now employed in by the Pye Group, a finalist in two categories at the upcoming South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce Business Awards. Shane is also South Canterbury Cricket's Development Officer.
