Bringing voices together - in the City and beyond
Choral conducting
Howard has spent over two decades building and conducting choirs at some of London's most prestigious financial and legal institutions. With his background as a professional opera singer and a natural gift for inspiring non-professional singers, he creates choir experiences that are musically excellent, always enjoyable and genuinely transformative.
The Approach
Howard's choirs are about bringing people together - across all departments and seniority levels; building confidence, fostering wellbeing and creating a sense of shared achievement. With the emphasis being on collaboration, diversity and inclusion, choirs should be open to everyone, whether they’re already experienced singers, or absolute beginners
