|
David Hill has been appointed Chief Conductor of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers, the UK's leading chamber choir.
Μύ
Currently Director of Music at St John's College, Cambridge, he will formally take up his appointment in Autumn 2007.
Μύ
Hill is one of the leading choral conductors of his generation and a figure of increasing significance on the international choral scene.
Μύ
As Chief Conductor, his work with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers will contribute substantially to the group's widely-varied portfolio of work for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Television and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms, as well as the group's increasingly extensive programme of education and outreach activities.
Μύ
Building on his immense experience directing such acclaimed choral institutions as Winchester Cathedral Choir and St John's College, Cambridge - as well as some of the finest European professional choirs - the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers are delighted that Hill has agreed to take up the post of Chief Conductor, continuing the traditions of choral excellence established by his predecessor, Stephen Cleobury.
Μύ
Already a familiar and much-respected guest conductor of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers, Hill's work with the group includes recordings of the Monteverdi Vespers and the Rachmaninov Vespers, as well as concerts in London and the regions.
Μύ
David Hill says: "I am delighted and honoured to become the Chief Conductor of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers. It is a group of exceptionally gifted musicians, respected the world over; and I am looking forward to working more closely with them over the coming months and years."
Μύ
Stephen Ashley-King, General Manager, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers, says: "We're very excited that David is coming on board as Chief Conductor, to take us into the next chapter of the Singers' distinguished history."
Μύ
Roger Wright, Controller, Radio 3, says: "I am delighted by this announcement. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers, the only full-time professional choir in the UK, is a vital part of Radio 3 programming and I look forward to the group's exciting new partnership with David Hill."
