The Director
Paul Hedley is currently General Manager of the Three Choirs Festival, while also running his own chamber choir, Musica Beata. He was a choral scholar and then Lay Clerk in the Choir of Magdalen College Oxford, before moving to Gloucester in 2005 to take up a Lay Clerkship in the Cathedral Choir. He has extensive choral experience as a consort singer, having sung concerts, toured and recorded with Gloucester Cathedral, Magdalen Choir, Schola Cantorum of Oxford, Oxford Voices and Ex Cathedra, as well as singing with many different choirs in Oxford, London and the West Country. He also has significant solo experience, both in oratorio and recital, and a PhD in Theoretical Linguistics.
He has been directing for some years, his first exposure to conducting being of a small group of singers travelling round hotels and pubs singing Christmas Carols, and raising money for Charity. More recently, he has directed chamber choirs for weddings and funerals, and successful performances of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater (with chamber orchestra), as well as being involved in a concert of Britten's Canticles.
