Ben is an immensely popular member of our team, with a genius for bringing his own brand of humour into proceedings. He has practiced as a church musician in Anglican and Catholic settings for many years.
As assistant organist at St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, director of music for the Servite Priory – Fulham Road, All Saints’ – Blackheath, The Shrine of St. Thomas of Canterbury – Burgate, and currently St Mary of Charity, Faversham, he learned much about the beauty, discipline, and application of polyphony and chant in modern liturgy.
Ben is a noted music therapist and a professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. In addition to his interest in ecclesiastical music, Ben is increasingly in demand as an accompanist and also loves to play jazz.
Our aim with choirs is to help the singers to find the best in their voices and teach them how to be really expressive through choral music. We have a lot of fun. Laughter is so important in finding the freedom to really express ourselves.
