David Hill, 9th Musical Director Of The Bach Choir, Honoured With International Chair At Royal Northern College Of Music
The Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) has appointed David Hill as international chair in choral conducting.
British conductor and organist David Hill is musical director of The Bach Choir, principal conductor of the Yale Schola Cantorum, musical director of Leeds Philharmonic Society and associate guest conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
He was chief conductor of the BBC Singers from 2009 to 2017 and is a former music director of Southern Sinfonia.
A champion of new music, he has premiered works from composers including Judith Bingham, Bob Chilcott, Gabriel Jackson, James Macmillan, Philip Moore, Sir John Tavener and Jonathan Dove.
Chair of The Bach Choir, Katharine Richman, says: "David is an inspirational choral conductor and choir trainer, and I am delighted that he now adds the RNCM International Chair of Choral Conducting to his other prestigious positions both in the UK and USA. The Bach Choir has always been unique in appointing a musical director who conducts both its rehearsals and its performances, and David - now in his 21st year with us - has built on the work of his illustrious predecessors, developing the Choir's sound and taking it to new heights of excellence."
