Jeremy Backhouse

Where do we start? Jeremy Backhouse has been our Music Director since 1995 and has taken us on an ambitious and unforgettable voyage of musical discovery. With him, we have commissioned music from world-renowned composers like Will Todd and Francis Pott. We have sung with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Philharmonia and we have worked with soloists including Tasmin Little, Julian Lloyd-Webber and Michael Collins.

Singing with Jeremy is fun, relaxed and always revealing - he has a reputation for getting to the heart of the emotion behind the music, so coming away from a performance is always an uplifting and rewarding experience. You'll learn much more than just getting the notes in the right order - Jeremy's music-making is about passion, soul and expression. And when the choir comes together with a professional orchestra with Jeremy at the helm, you know you're in for something special!

In Salisbury, he is the Music Director of the Salisbury Community Choir, where he has commissioned new pieces by Bob Chilcott and Alexander L'Estrange, among others.
