Claire Cooper

Claire Cooper studied with John Winther at the Canberra School of Music, and later at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. She spent five years as repetiteur and accompanist for the Victorian College of the Arts and was a member of staff at the Faculty of Music, University of Melbourne as an accompanist.

Claire worked extensively in Melbourne with major music organisations and festivals, and had an extensive and wide-ranging repertoire.

She suffered an acquired brain injury after being hit by a car in 2013 while cycling on the Upfield bike path in Melbourne which, sadly, has put an end to her musical career. She has spent two years largely in and out of Epworth's rehabilitation clinic. Her outlook is positive as she slowly rebuilds her life in country Victoria.

Move Records wishes her well in her expected many years of gradual recovery.
