In 2010 she received second placing in the Kerikeri National Piano Competition in New Zealand. Brieley was granted a fellowship from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust in 2013 and three years later was awarded a Doctorate of Musical Arts from Griffith University.  

Brieley has performed as soloist and chamber music collaborator at venues in London, Brussels, Salzburg, and New Zealand, and in Australia’s leading concert venues.Brieley has appeared as concerto soloist with orchestras including the Melbourne Symphony, Adelaide Symphony, Queensland Symphony, Melbourne Youth Orchestra, and the Nizchny-Novgorod Philharmonic.

We are delighted to have Brieley join the Choir, and look forward to her collaboration with Musical Director, Warwick Tyrrell.
