#15 Chris Rowbury

Chris Rowbury is a choir conductor and workshop leader with over 30 years experience. Based in Suffolk, England, Chris runs singing workshops and residential singing weekends, and also writes a weekly choir blog called From The Front Of The Choir.

Chris has a humorous and relaxing style, and can be quite mischievous and contrarian. We used topics from Chris' blog as jumping-off points in this wide-ranging discussion.

 

Expect to learn:

• What is an "eggy moment" and why does Chris love them?
• What one skill would Chris magically bestow on all singers, if he could?
• What mindset helped Chris to run a workshop when only five people turned up and the space was occupied by huge pillars?
• Why does Chris sometimes turn off all the lights in his rehearsal?
• Why is it important for choir leaders to put themselves in the singer's shoes?
• And much more...
