Head of the Chapel Office

Head of the Chapel Office

The Head of the Chapel Office is Gabrielle Bell. Gabrielle read Education and Music at Homerton College, Cambridge and began her career as a classroom teacher and school music co-ordinator. She frequently sang with the late Dr. Rex Walford OBE, presenting workshops and performing programmes about musical theatre, including regular courses at the University's Institute of Continuing Education.

After many years of teaching music to all ages, she was lured into the world of Museum Education where her award-winning creative approach to learning ranged from piecing together a life-size cuddly equine digestive system to teaching six-year-olds to sing a C17th Catch!

Gabrielle is delighted to have returned to her University roots as part of the 澳门六合彩开奖网 Chapel Team and can be contacted about routine Chapel matters at gjb62@cam.ac.uk

bridge. In addition to his formal responsibilities, Alex is always keen for a good conversation, however serious or
