Our conductor

Tricia Rees-Jones was born and brought up in Yorkshire where she studied piano and viola before being appointed a Choral Scholar at Royal Holloway College, London which fuelled her passion for choral singing. She sang with a number of London-based chamber choirs including the Joyful Company of Singers with whom she enjoyed performing throughout Europe and on a number of commercial recordings.

Her conducting career began when she was persuaded to take on the role of Director of Music for the Langcliffe Singers in Yorkshire and through this became an active member of the Association of British Choral Directors, studying conducting under their Director of Training, Amy Bebbington.

Now based in Somerset, she directs the Swan Singers, is Director of Music for the Harptree parish churches, and continues her singing with Vox Coelestis chamber choir under Nigel Short, Cappella Nova chamber choir of Bath and appears regularly with the Sherborne Chamber Choir.
