Conductor – Ruth McKibbin
Ruth describes herself as a “singer’s conductor”. She worked as a music teacher, choral conductor, freelance soprano soloist and cathedral chorister in Adelaide, Australia, before she came to the UK in 2005 and was appointed our Conductor in 2009.
Her vision for the Choir is to develop and perform challenging and diverse pieces, focusing on vocal technique and excellence in interpretation.
Accompanist – Adam Biggs
Adam is a musician and music teacher from Adelaide, Australia. In 1994, he graduated from Elder Conservatorium, Adelaide University, with a Bachelor of Music, majoring in jazz piano performance.
He travelled extensively before arriving in Bath in 2003, when he became the Choir’s Accompanist. Adam performs regularly with his Jazz Trio ‘Adam’s Apple’.
Adam transcribed the composition “Silver” for choral parts. This track is featured on the CD “Sixty Years of Song”.
Guest Soloists
From time to time the choir invites guest soloists to join in concert with us.
We’ve sung with Katherine Jenkins, Aled Jones, Hayley Westenra, Alfie Boe and most recently Lynsey Docherty and students from the Music Department of Bath Spa University.
Jamie Cullum joined us at The Forum for our 60th Anniversary Concert.
