ADRIAN  MENDONCA

               Adrian Mendonca began learning music at a young age, under the tutelage of the late V. B. Pooniwala at the St. Cecilia’s School of Music, Pune, India. During these formative years, he was exposed to and participated in masterclasses with Paul Stewart (Professor at  Université de Montréal), Dr. Kedarnath Awati and Dr. Fareed Curmally.

Currently, he is the choral director of Lleisiau Mynydd – a four-part (SATB) community choir from Mynydd Llandegai in North Wales, UK.
