FRESH from performing in The King and I, Berwick’s multi-award winning opera singer Shu-Cheen Yu will grace this year’s Cranbourne Community Christmas Carols.
A Casey resident of 15 years, Shu-Cheen said she was humbled to perform for her local community.
“I love singing carols and I was booked for another concert at the same time as the Cranbourne performance so I am making sure I can sing at both,” she said.
Chatting on Casey Radio’s ‘The Women of Today’, Shu-Cheen revealed her life was set out for her before she was born.
“My mother is a Chinese opera singer and when she was pregnant with me she still performed – at seven months she was on stage singing opera,” Shu-Cheen said, laughing.
“I was destined to be a singer and actress.”
But Shu-Cheen’s true passion lies elsewhere.
“A lot of my family members work in medicine and I am very interested in it myself, Chinese medicine is my love,” she said.
The Casey celebrity recently finished a real estate course to work alongside husband Kelvin Gough in their business ‘Safe Super Homes’ and said she was excited to watch her home town grow.
“Casey is the best place to live, we have everything and it is affordable,” she said.
Shu-Cheen will be performing some of her favourite Christmas carols on Sunday 13 December at the St John’s Anglican Church in Cranbourne.
