PERFORMING CAREER
After practising medicine for ten years, Inge joined Opera Australia for 8 years. She had professional choral experience with the Quodlibet Singers, The Corinthian Singers of Adelaide, various Sydney-based groups (The Contemporary Singers, The Carol Company). In OA she was a lyric mezzo soprano in the full-time chorus and also sang Minor Principal roles. She understudied many major "pants" principal mezzo soprano roles during this time. Highlights were performing Mrs Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly in the 1993 Opera in the Domain, and her regular appearances in the “Stars of the Opera” concerts organised by John Germain with other Principal artists from the company.
She has been alto solo in many oratorios with major choirs ( Adelaide Chorus, Adelaide Harmony Choir, Gosford Philharmonia, Waverley Philharmonia, Sydney University Graduate Choir, North Coast Performing Arts Society, Armidale Choral Society) and gave lieder recitals for Sydney Music groups, Australian Society for Keyboard Music, 2MBS—FM and at private functions.
Since moving to Armidale in 2003, she has performed in many concerts with the Armidale Symphony Orchestra as soloist: Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder, Highlights from the Opera, a Gilbert and Sullivan Evening, and Rogers and Hammerstein Favourites. She has performed major roles with the Armidale Drama and Musical Society and is a member and occasional conductor of the leading Armidale a cappella group, Fiori Musicali (2005-2021), and the Kodaly Armidale Chapter Singers, a small highly skilled a cappella group of 8 voices. She has been the alto soloist in Handel's Messiah, performed by The Armidale Choral Society with orchestra several times and has also been alto soloist in Mendelssohn's Elijah with this orchestra.
In 2020 she performed duets and trios with Greg McPhan (baritone) and Leanne Roobol(soprano) in the Sunday in the Market concert series.
She has written and performed a comic skit involving Madama Blatavosky, a middle European singing teacher of dubious merit, for entertainment at functions.
