CONDUCTOR
Richard Nott is a choral conductor, having worked with many amateur choirs and choral societies in east London and Essex with his work as Director of Music at St Bede’s Roman Catholic Church in Chadwell Heath.
His wealth of experience with Catholic liturgy ranges from plainsong and Renaissance choral music to modern worship and special commissions for important church events. Richard is also very comfortable rehearsing choirs from churches of other denominations as well as non-church choirs.
Richard’s style is very much a relaxed one, making rehearsals fun and engaging, providing a comfortable learning environment for amateur singers. Richard is also experienced in 'depping' for Choir Leaders when they are unable to take a rehearsal but want the practise to go ahead. If you are interested in talking to Richard about 'depping', please make contact with him.
News
Hello everyone, and welcome to my latest update.
Here we are half way through February already, and the year has got off to a very busy start. I had a weekend off from playing this last weekend (my post-Christmas break!) which was very welcome. My partner and I went away for a few days. I was going to take the yellow Merc, but she's no fun to drive in the pouring rain.
A great priest-friend of mine died suddenly just before Christmas. Mgr David Manson was Parish Priest at Our Lady Queen of Peace in Braintree, Essex. I'd seen him just a few days before when I played at the church. It was a great shock for his parish.
I live-streamed the Mass for the reception of his body in Braintree a few weeks ago, after which I met a lady who asked to see a photo of the Mercedes SLK. I just happened to have one on my phone, and she suggested I put it up on my website, so that'll be my next job. Check out the contact page! We also talked about having a comments page, so I'll do that as well.
I hope all is well with you, and I'll try to update a little sooner next time!
Best wishes,
Richard
