Since 1988 Jeremy has been Director of Music at Westminster Under School – the preparatory department of Westminster School – and of the Westminster Boys’ Choir, whose appearances in London have included performances at the Royal Festival Hall with Sarah Walker, with the English Chamber Orchestra at the Cadogan Hall, and in concert with Sir Thomas Allen and Julian Lloyd Webber. They have also performed live on BBC Radio, have appeared on BBC, LWT and Channel 4 television, and have recorded theme music for two BBC television series. Under his direction, the Westminster Boys’ Choir has performed throughout Europe and has also toured Canada, South Africa, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, where their performances to packed houses raised thousands of pounds for children’s charities in the country. They will be appearing in the Montepulciano Festival in Italy this summer.
Jeremy also directs his own chamber choir, Voyces, which draws upon some of London’s finest and most versatile, professional choral singers, and he directs annual choral courses at Dartington International Summer School.
As musical director, Jeremy has worked on a great many shows. With the support of the British Council in Malta, and at the composer’s request, he directed John Gardner’s children’s opera, Bel and the Dragon and, the following year, a specially choreographed performance of Handel’s Messiah, involving over one hundred young singers and dancers. He also collaborated with Joan Littlewood on the preparation of new performance material for The Theatre Group’s production, Oh! What a Lovely War.
As a singer himself, Jeremy has performed with some of the UK’s leading chamber choirs, appeared as soloist in oratorio and opera, and recorded a programme of English song for BBC Radio. He is a Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music. |
