Andrew Morley is our Musical Director. He studied conducting and orchestration with Denis McCaldin at Lancaster University, then won the Hertford Choral Scholarship to study with Peter Stark at Trinity College of Music, London. He graduated with distinction, winning the Ricordi Conducting Prize. In 2004 Andrew was awarded first prize at the Allianz-Cornhill Musical Insurance Conducting Competition. Paul Driver of The Sunday Times wrote of one of his performances: ‘What we heard was a marvel…the most convincing, gripping, sheerly beautiful realisation of Gruppen that I’ve heard.’
