Sidmouth Choral Society has appointed a new Musical Director, David Davies, who took up the role on New Year's Day.
During the past 10 years, David has established a reputation in the South West as one of the region’s most exciting organists, both soloist and accompanist. Originally from Snowdonia, David trained as an organist, pianist, and conductor at Eton College, at Magdalen College, Oxford, and at the Institute of Sacred Music, Yale University, having won scholarships to each.
David has given concerts across the USA, Japan, South Africa and in several European countries. He has also featured on a number of radio and TV broadcasts.
As a conductor David has worked with a wide array of orchestral and choral ensembles both in this country and in the USA.
The Society want to welcome anyone who fancies coming along to join them on any Wednesday evening at 7:15 (for 7:30 start) at St Francis Church Hall, Woolbrook Road, from 10th January. Sheet music is supplied, and there are many and varied rehearsal aids on the Members’ section of the Society’s website - even recordings of each rehearsal!
