history
Marcella Puppini, Kate Mullins and Stephanie O'Brien met while studying at Trinity College of Music in London .

In June 2012 the group announced that Stephanie O'Brien would leave the trio and take her place Terrianne Passingham.
In November 2012, Terianne Passingham left the Puppini Sisters and Emma Smith took her place as the group's soprano.
