The choir of friends                             "A great, great choir, conducted by a genius" - adjudicator (slightly tipsy)

Founder, Musical Director, and driving force of Choros Amici, Chris combines a musical background and drama training in his 'day-job' as Head of Performing Arts at the William Allitt School (Derbyshire, England), a Specialist Performing Arts College for 11-16 year-olds.

He has been closely associated with Sing for Pleasure for many years, works regularly with a number of highly regarded choirs, and is a much sought-after choral trainer and 'fixer' for choral groups of many styles, from chamber ensembles to quartets and Barbershop choruses.

Alongside his passion for inspiring and improving choirs of all types, Chris has trained new and experienced choral directors for Sing for Pleasure, the British Federation of Young Choirs, the British Association of Barbershop Singers and has presented workshops for the Association of British Choral Directors.

Chris produces warm-ups and workshops for choral competitions and now, following the success of Choros Amici, has begun to venture into choral adjudication at other festivals. He is in demand as a workshop leader and is renowned for the fun and energy he brings to courses (classical, barbershop, and gospel) in his role as a roving choral animateur.
