Youth- and Parishworker
Juliette Pfaff was born in Switzerland, where she grew up and obtained her Matura in the 'Kantonsschule Wetzikon' in 1995. In 1996 she moved to London, where she trained at Mountview Conservatoire of the Performing Arts. After winning a scholarship for the 3-year Acting and Musical Theatre Course, she graduated with a BA(hons) in 2000. She then worked in show business for a few years, which included a 1-year No.1 tour for BBC Worldwide, which took her all across the UK, performing in all major cities, theatres and Opera houses.


Secretary
Dominik Elmiger started his job at the Swiss Church on 7 January 2008. He grew up in Lucerne and did a commercial apprenticeship and gained some work experience afterwards. In 2005, he came to London for 3 months to study English.



Organist
Dr Hilary Davan Wetton trained at the Royal College of Music and the University of Oxford, where he studied both the organ and conducting. His first professional post was as organist at Brixton Prison.
Since then he has been organist at churches in Kensington, Welwyn and Watford, as well as an assistant at St Albans Cathedral under the great Peter Hurford. For most of his career, however, he has been associated with some of Britain’s leading schools: Cranleigh, St Paul’s Girls’ School (where Gustav Holst was Director of Music), and most recently at Tonbridge.
Conducting has become his primary interest, particularly through long relationships with the Guildford Choral Society (since 1968), the Milton Keynes City Orchestra (since 1975), and the City of London Choir (since 1989). For 13 years he was also conductor of the Holst Singers which is widely recognised as one of the finest non-professional choirs in the country.
