Chloë Rogers

Chloë is a medical doctor by background, having graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2020, but she definitely spent more time at uni enjoying the MedSchool Big Band and musical theatre group, both of which she conducted and played in during 2013-2020.

​

Music has always been a big part of Chloë's life - she started learning the clarinet aged 8, inspired by her piano-playing great grandmother Peggy's love of old jazz artists. Though classically trained, Chloë has a very eclectic taste in music, strengthened by her queer identity, love of queer history and the role music plays in this.

​

During rehearsals, the choir are treated to a miscellany of mental imagery that Chloë uses to get just the right feel of a piece within the group. Examples include large stone trolls stepping into thick mud, and a jar of marbles being poured down a dry riverbed!

​

Day to day, Chloë works as a public health doctor, currently at the University of Warwick, and in her spare time is a prolific knitter, having recently finished a pattern for an 1895 Victorian cycling jumper.
