All Things Considered

Bob Chilcott


Listen Later

Our guest today is one of the world’s most widely performed contemporary composers and arrangers, as well as an acclaimed choral conductor. Born in 1955, singing as a choir-boy in his local church ignited a musical spark in Bob Chilcott. Since then, choral music has been at the heart of his life: a chorister, then a choral scholar in the choir of King's College, Cambridge; a member of the British vocal group The King's Singers; and, since 1997, a full-time, prolific composer, arranger and conductor. His works span genres and include a large sacred output, performed and recorded globally. For many, his name is synonymous with Christmas, having written and arranged reams of Carols, including editions of the choral singer’s go-to compilations, Carols for Choirs. As a conductor, he holds the position of Guest Principal Conductor of the BBC Singers, and directs choirs of all ages and abilities across the world. Bob Chilcott is committed to sharing choral singing as a vehicle for humanity.
