Jeani leads on designing and delivering our work with young people - from engaging school groups for our large-scale performances, engaging young musicians and overseeing our Young Creatives scheme. Outside of MSO, she sings soprano with the South West London Choral Society. Jeani loves musicals, k-dramas and chocolate.

Ollie is responsible for building our organisation’s name and reputation both online and offline, regionally and internationally. He has a longtime interest in culture, the arts, and education which led him first of all to pursue a masters degree in Cultural Studies, before he began work as an English teacher upon graduating. Since then, he’s found a way of marrying his twin interests in photography and culture, working with photography cooperative Test-Shoots and South London music charity, Raw Material, as well as for ourselves.

Theresa completed her Masters in Voluntary Sector Management and has a Diploma in Charity Accounting. She oversees Multi Story's finances, ensuring that our work is delivered effectively, meeting both statutory and funder requirements.
