Neil Moore, musical director

Neil's website
Neil Moore (director, counter-tenor) was born in Belfast in 1978. He developed a passion for singing at the age of 8 when he joined his local parish church choir. He was inspired by two music teachers at school and went on to The City of Belfast School of Music, gaining a grounding in the rudiments of music and orchestral playing (clarinet). 
Neil read music at The University of Glasgow where he conducted the wind band and orchestra. He also set up the now firmly established Music Club Choir. 
Whilst in Glasgow he sang tenor with St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral. Upon graduating he travelled east to Edinburgh to complete a PGCE and also sang tenor with St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, under Matthew Owens. Following this he entered the classroom for a number of years and also sang with Hereford Cathedral Choir with which he appeared in the Three Choirs Festival, made several broadcasts on television and radio, recorded several CDs and toured the US extensively. During this period he also took a choir to the final of BBC Choir of the Year in 2008.
Since coming to the Bath area in 2011 Neil's quickly got stuck into its musical life singing with several choirs and directing Beckington Choir, Colerne Military Wives Choir, Vox8 and  Bath Cantata Group and the Oakfield Choir.
