About Kevin
Kevin has worked with choirs for over forty years. He was the organ scholar at Downing College, Cambridge (1980-83), where he was tutored by Philip Ledger and Peter Hurford, and Hubert Darke (son of Harold) was one of his tenors! He has worked with singers of all ages ever since, including the North Cotswold Chamber Choir, the Oxford Festival of Voices singers and, more recently, the choir at Bluecoat School, Coventry.
Kevin has many interests as a musician and teacher with strengths in performance, improvisation, composition, theory, aural and choral music.
In his fourth year as Director Music at St John Baptist, Berkswell, he has thoroughly enjoyed the weekly challenge!
Kevin’s last ‘Come & Sing’ event was at Oundle School and the music??.... Mozart's Requiem... one for a future event perhaps!
