Introducing our new Musical Director
Kenton Brigden
​
Those of you who attended the Wendover Choral Society concert on May 18th last, may have been surprised at certain changes which had taken place.
Instead of the choir banked by an orchestra and soloists, this small choir of 28 choral music lovers stood alone and sang the first half of the programme virtually unaccompanied.
This miracle was achieved by the young man who stood in front of them and had worked with them for just 8 weeks since their previous Musical Director stepped down suddenly.
Kenton Brigden's main work has been as Director of Music for St Mary's Parish Church, Aylesbury. He is an experienced and accomplished choral trainer and inspirational teacher who leads by making music joyous and fun.
The choir has been uplifted and inspired by his appointment to be our permanent Musical Director from September and we are looking forward to seeing what plans he has for our first Christmas together.
We hope to build the choir gradually and look forward to welcoming enthusiastic singers who share our excitement at the start of a new era for the Society.
Our Autumn term starts on September 5th at St Mary's Church, Wendover and we rehearse every Thursday from 7.45 untill 9.45.
Our Christmas concert this year will be held on December 7th.
If you are interested, you are welcome to come along, without commitment, and see for yourself.

We were delighted to hear that the wonderful bass-baritone, Michael Ronan, who sang with us in our December 2022 Messiah, has been awarded the Glyndebourne John Christie Award. Congratulations, Michael!
