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.

I hope you're all well. So much for me keeping my website up to date! I can't believe how the months are flying by.
I'm looking forward to the RCO trip to Paris & Rouen to play Cavaillé-Coll organs at the end of May. Why did I decided to learn new repertoire instead of brushing up pieces I already know? Anyway, the pieces are coming on well, and I'm grateful to my teacher, Richard Brasier, for his help and guidance.
The new Brentwood Music site is up and running at brentwooddiocesanmusic.org and you might like to look at Www.brentwoodcathedralconcerts.org too. On the Brentwood Diocesan Music site you'll find details of the Battle of the Organs I'm organising on June 29th at Brentwood Cathedral. Tickets available from Eventbrite here
The Essex Organists' Association has some great events lined up this coming year. Visit our website for details and to see what we're up to.
I have now started playing the organ at St. Mary's Hornchurch each week. It is a 2m&p Allen about 20 years old.
Last time I mentioned that I'd tidied my den/office up after being inspired by YouTube videos. Well, it's very messy again! I'll try to tidy it once I'm back from Paris, but don't hold your breath!!
That's it for now, so I'll catch up with you all soon.....honest!
