Colin has been Musical Director of the Society since 1974 and has considerable experience in directing church choirs, chamber choirs and larger choral groups. He has broadened the Society’s repertoire considerably and, as well as introducing most of the established choral repertoire, has encouraged the commissioning of a number of choral works and the performance of many contemporary pieces.

His formal musical training took place at Trinity College, London where he studied organ. He continues to play regularly in London and elsewhere and has made several trips abroad with London choirs and the choir of Ely Cathedral. He was organist and choirmaster at Tring Parish Church for 12 years.

Colin is an experienced accompanist on piano, having accompanied countless shows, musicals, operas and operettas. He has also musically directed a number of stage shows, including Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady and Side By Side by Sondheim.
