He is now one of London's most highly regarded vocal coaches and has worked extensively for the Royal Opera (Covent Garden), Opera-OT (Rotterdam) and New York International Opera Partners. He is also in demand as a recital accompanist.
Paul’s first assignment as Musical Director of the choir was to conduct the successful tour of Prague and Vienna in May 2000. He worked hard to improve our vocal technique, initiating regular singing workshops, and presented us with challenging material, from Hildegard of Bingen to Jacques Brel.

Jean was the co-founder and first conductor of the choir.
A graduate of Trinity College, London, she studied singing with Ilse Wolf and conducting with James Gaddarn.
In 1984, Jean became a member of the Swingle Singers with whom she made many recordings and toured extensively.
Since her Swingle days, Jean has been working in schools and boroughs across London, developing music with children and young people. Her infectious enthusiasm for all kinds of music and her faith in the abilities of the choir led to some memorable performances and gave the choir a solid base from which to develop.
