Appointment of joint Directors of Music
We are delighted to announce the appointment of our new Directors of Music, who will share the post on an equal basis.
Suzie Green, our interim Director of Music under whose direction the choir has grown and flourished, is joined by Alex Silverman, an experienced award-winning Musical Director and composer. They bring complementary skills and experience to our growing musical life, and we look forward immensely to this new chapter at All Saints.
More details about them will be posted shortly.
