The figurehead and foundation of any chorus is its Musical Director and we are very pleased to say that Andrew Edgley joined us in that capacity in May 2009
Andrew is a self-confessed singing addict. During his formative years he sang in the church choir and attended North Notts Music school where he studied piano, trumpet, singing and theory well as playing in various ensembles. Since then he has sung continuously in all sorts of groups and recently joined the very successful octet Vox Concordia.His love of barbershop harmony started in the early 1980s when he formed his first quartet and it was a natural progression to start directing singing groups after that. He has served time as Director of Harbour Lights ladies group in Portsmouth, as Assistant Director of the Knights of Harmony men's chorus in Chesham and Assistant Director of Solent City Chorus, based in Portsmouth.
The Music Team support the MD, choosing suitable music, taking section practices and warmups, and helping to teach the songs that become part of the chorus repertoire.
