Andrew Morley is our Musical Director. Andrew studied conducting and orchestration with Denis McCaldin at Lancaster University and subsequently 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 February 2004 Andrew was awarded first prize at the Allianz-Cornhill Musical Insurance Conducting Competition (formerly British Reserve competition) having received unanimous votes from both jury and orchestra. He has a particular interest in twentieth century orchestral music and is the composer of Incidental Music to Frehlings Erwachen, Time Transfixed, and more recently Six Miniatures for chamber ensemble. Andrew has continued to take the band from strength to strength, pushing players to new levels with great exuberance. |
