Since this autumn, our choir has a new director: Max Carsley. After 11 years as our choir director, our beloved founder Kathleen Bird passed the baton this summer. What a fortunate coincidence that our youngest choir member is studying church music at the Universität der Künste! Max has been singing with us as a tenor since November 2021, has already helped out with conducting Evensongs last year, and has brilliantly accompanied us on the organ at two major concerts in recent years and during our Edinburgh trip in the summer.
We are incredibly proud that one of our own is now taking on the responsibility of leading our choir. And we are incredibly grateful to have such a talented musician with such a big heart and wonderful sense of humour as our conductor.
