David is our Principal conductor. He is based in London, and has over 25 years ́ experience working with choirs across the UK and around the world. He leads our workshops in Basel, and returns to conduct the Chorus when we perform.

Under his skilful direction, we connect as an ensemble, and maximise our individual contributions to achieve a rich, resonant sound.
