Rachael Power comes from a long line of Salvation Army musicians, where she developed her love for singing and brass bands. She has been privileged to have a wide range of opportunities to perform and conduct throughout the Salvation Army world. She attends Lurgan Salvation Army and conducted the children’s choir for over ten years, taking the group on several trips to England. She is regularly invited to be a guest conductor at Salvation Army events and camps and is looking forward to travelling to a camp in Michigan this summer.

Rachael studied Music Education at Trinity College Dublin, where she was a choral scholar in the chapel and also conducted a student choir.

As a composer, she has had a number of vocal works published, with performances by choirs across Northern Ireland, England, and the United States. Most recently, she has completed commissions for a local primary school and for Lisburn Community Choir.

She is passionate about making choirs and singing accessible to everyone and runs pop-up choir events around Northern Ireland called One Night One Song.

Rachael is delighted to be conducting Portadown Male Voice Choir during this centenary year, a very special milestone for the choir, and is excited about the future plans and opportunities that lie ahead.
