Auditions are currently underway for a new Chorus Master.

Assistant Chorus Master, Nicholas Jones

Brought up in Edinburgh, Nick Jones went to Cambridge University where he read law and music.  He returned to Edinburgh in 1979, initially studying law at Edinburgh University, and has lived there ever since pursuing a career as a solicitor in private practice and filling his remaining time with varied music making. 

Whilst at Cambridge, he sang in the choir of St John's College under George Guest, and several other university choirs, as well as playing the oboe in various groups and conducting college orchestras and choirs.  During that period he studied singing with Peter Knapp and oboe with Sidney Sutcliffe.

Nick sang for a number of years with John Rutter's Cambridge Singers and was for many years a member of the Glasgow-based chamber choir Cappella Nova, for whom he was also a frequent soloist.  Additionally, he has made many appearances as a soloist with choirs and choral societies throughout Scotland.  He studied singing with Pat MacMahon for many years.

Nick has been involved in a wide range of choral training.  He was conductor of the Edinburgh Practice Choir for ten years and the Edinburgh University Chamber Choir for five years.  He was assistant musical director and chorusmaster of Edinburgh Grand Opera for two years and has assisted with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Chorus and Edinburgh Royal Choral Union.  He has been assistant chorusmaster of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra Chorus since 1998.
