The Balsham Singers - Conductor

John Clenaghan - Our Musical Director

John was educated at Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield, and went on to study music at Colchester and London. He studies piano with John Wolton and Robert Bell in Colchester, also with Timothy Barrett in London, and studied conducting with Christopher Phelps in London.

He has conducted choirs in various parts of the UK, performing many of the larger and smaller popular choral works, plus concerts with a much lighter style of music. He has performed as an accompanist in the Purcell Room on the South Bank and in various Music Theatre shows and choral concerts.

As well as directing the Balsham Singers he is also the Musical Director of the Magog Singers in Stapleford, Cambridge. He also provides Music Tuition for singing and piano/organ (see "Mr C's Music Tuition" on Facebook).

John has no particular preference, chorally, for any genre or composer but is very keen on making singing in a group an enjoyable experience.
