New Appointment for our MD
9 January 2020
Last night it was announced that our Musical
Director will also be the Musical Director of another Bach Choir
from September 2020. In addition to his work as Director of Music at
St Mary’s Church Wellingborough, with the Northamptonshire Music and
Performing Arts Trust, as Chorus Master of the Huntingdonshire
Philharmonic, and Musical Director of the Wellingborough Singers and
the Northampton Bach Choir, he will also be Musical Director of the
Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir!

Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir
|
The Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir was founded in 1939, and
completes its 80th anniversary year just as we, the Northampton Bach
Choir, begin our 85th anniversary year! The RLSBC’s founder
conductor was the late Stanley Vann (1910-2010), whose music Lee
championed during his time as Director of Music at All Saints
Northampton, and their first concert was performance of Bach’s St
Matthew Passion in the spring of 1940.
Many congratulations to Lee on his new appointment, and perhaps some
time he might be able to bring his two Bach Choirs together for a
joint performance? |
