Classical Crossover Magazine has been thrilled to feature Grace in our third Lockdown Concert last year as well as our “A Crossover Christmas” celebration with fellow Irish performers, Emer Barry, and Margaret Keys. We also featured Grace in our interview series. Watch to learn more about her story so far!
