Bristol Bach Choir Musical Director Gavin Carr "Two of the biggest hits of the evening were William Llewellyn's exciting arrangement of
Ding Dong Merrily On High and In Dulci Jubilo which the choir sang skilfully and with broad
smiles on their faces." (Gerry Parker, Bristol Evening Post) "... This was a very fresh interpretation which had moments of drama from the
singers, especially in the Hallelujah Chorus. This well-disciplined choir made light work
of His Yoke Is Easy and the haunting Since By Man Came Death whilst Gavin Carr's
intelligent direction helped this to be a successful occasion..."
(John Packwood, Bristol Evening Post) 2008/09 Season
This season is one of change for the choir. After ten years in charge, Peter Leech stood down as our music director
in December 2008. We are delighted to welcome Gavin Carr
as his replacement. Gavin has the challenging task of helping the choir consolidate the tremendous strides
made under Peter’s leadership as well as seeking fresh challenges under his direction. CHOIR VACANCIES Are you looking for an exciting musical challenge?
