An internationally renowned choral musician and former boy chorister of Ely Cathedral, Nigel Perrin was a choral scholar at King’s College, Cambridge, where he studied under Sir David Willcocks. On leaving Cambridge, he became well known as the high voice of The King’s Singers and for eleven years travelled the world on concert tours, recording some twenty-five albums and appearing in countless television shows with artists as diverse as Kiri Te Kanawa and Sir Cliff Richard. This background and experience formed the basis of his current career: conducting, directing choral workshops and summer schools, adjudicating and teaching.

He established Bath Camerata, directs the City of Bath Bach Choir and Junior Choir, the Bath Festival Chorus, the Exeter Festival Chorus and the Bath Spa University Choir and works as consultant to many other choral groups around the country.

In recent years Nigel has conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and the London Mozart Players. In 2010 Nigel’s projects range from conducting the opening concert of the Bath International Festival to a summer school in Venice and a baroque performance of Bach’s B minor Mass in Budapest.
