Musical Director

Peter Hicks

     

We’re delighted to introduce our new Musical Director Peter Hicks, who will be taking over the leadership of  The
Chantry Singers in 2025, following Roy Rashbrook’s departure after 20 years at the helm.

Peter is a countertenor and conductor based in Guildford. His love of choral music stems from his years as a chorister at St. John's College, Cambridge. After reading Music at Durham University, where he also sang as a choral scholar at Durham Cathedral, Peter studied at the University of York for a Masters in Solo Voice Ensemble Singing, under Robert Hollingworth, graduating in 2023 with distinction. Peter is currently a Lay Clerk at Guildford Cathedral, and is working as Conducting Assistant at Farnham & Bourne Choral Society. He has recently gained a place on National Youth Choir's Fellowship scheme, for emerging professional artists, starting in January 2025, and has also founded his own group, the Stag Consort, who regularly engage in projects in the Guildford area. 

We look forward working with Peter over the years to come, and to welcoming you all to our concerts.
