Paul Spicer, our Festival Conductor, leads all the participating choirs and independent singers in combined rehearsals at regular intervals. Paul is a highly acclaimed choral conductor, known by many for the recordings he made with the Finzi Singers and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir. He is a conducting teacher, composer, writer, lecturer and a leading specialist in 20th century music. His rehearsals are quite simply choral singing masterclasses.
Rehearsal venues: 29 November 2024 to 1 March 2025 at Petersfield Methodist Church, Station Road, Petersfield, GU32 3EB. From 13 March at Petersfield Festival Hall.
