NEWS ITEMS

2011 will bring significant changes for the society.

After 29 years as Musical Director for Broom Leys Choral Society, Brian Humpherson retired from this post.

Brian will be missed by all members of the society, especially those who were there to greet him on his arrival all those years ago. Everyone in the society wishes Brian good health, happiness and success for the future.

However, at the same time, we have great pleasure in welcoming Brian’s successor, Andrew Goff, into the post of Musical Director. We are looking forward to working with him. Our first concert under his direction was our Summer Concert at Castle Rock High School on July 9th

Andrew Goff

Andrew is a freelance musician and teacher, who has worked with a number of choral groups in Leicestershire. He is closely involved with Sing for Pleasure, the national choral organisation, as a tutor of conductor training.

Andrew has a growing reputation as a composer and arranger of choral music. He works with several musical theatre groups and is a member of Sine Nomine, the international touring choir. Andrew is interested in introducing singers and audiences to less familiar and neglected choral repertoire.

“Farewell Brian - thank you, and best wishes for the future, from all at BLCS”

On 12th July 2011, the society held an informal get-together at Hall Lane Methodist Church, Whitwick. Our retiring MD, Brian Humpherson, was presented with an ‘Honorary Life Member’ certificate and our new MD, Andrew Goff led the choir in singing some of the items from our recent Summer Concert.
