Music Team Music Director - Phillip Gilbert  Phillip joined Northampton Male Voice Choir in October 2009. He studied at the Royal College of Music and the University of Hull. Joining the Music staff of the Welsh National Opera, he spent many years conducting, coaching singers and working with choirs both professional and amateur. Engagements at the Opera Festivals of Wexford, Lausanne and Buxton broadened his experience, particularly during a period working at Zurich Opera. An appointment as Chorus Master at Dublin Opera lead to an assistantship with Maestro Giovanni Veneri, Director of Studies at the Verdi Institute in Parma, and an increase in activity as an accompanist, giving many recitals and broadcasts. A further Assistantship with James Lockhart brought Phillip back to the UK and the Royal College of Music Opera School. Since setting up in his home town of Wellingborough, Phillip continues to coach singers and conduct throughout the country. Deputy Conductor - Mike Davis  Mike
is a founder member of the choir and widely experienced in close harmony
and choral singing. As a tenor he has worked as a soloist. In the 90's he took courses to enable him to contribute as a deputy conductor. Accompanists - Wendy Baker & Andy Poole  These
two experienced pianists are very much the 'work horses' of the choir
and are unstinting in their support for the sometimes tedious 'note
bashing' as well as enjoying themselves at concerts.Without them the choir would indeed struggle Northampton Male Voice Choir Top of page |
