Richard's love of choral music was born whilst a chorister at Westminster Cathedral. Surrounded by so much wonderful music from Spain, France, Italy and England, it is not surprising that when the opportunity arose to establish Tredici he would return to these roots for many repertoire ideas.

​

Armed with a BMus from Cardiff University he secured a job in the marketing department of the Philharmonia Orchestra. After several years as the orchestra's first Marketing Manager he moved to Rhinegold Publishing to develop its direct marketing and magazine subscription departments. This successful relationship lasted for around 20 years and he was eventually appointed Head of Marketing. Richard was then offered a role at International Theatre & Music, working with musical theatre composer and lyricist Piers Chater Robinson, marketing and licensing Piers's shows to professional and amateur theatre groups all over the world.

 

Richard is currently Operations Manager for Orpheus Sinfonia and Senior Executive for the Keyboard Trust. 

 

Richard sang tenor in the Philharmonia Chorus for more than  15 years. An elected position to the Council of Management, held for several years, led to him serving as Chairman of the chorus from 1999-2002.

​

Richard is the founding Musical Director of Tredici, which was established in 2004 to perform at the Leprosy Mission Carol Service.  Since then he has conducted nearly 110 concerts in a variety of central London churches including, in recent years, one concert each Spring with orchestra.

 

Richard was appointed Organist and Musical Director at St Matthew's Church Ealing Common in September 2005, after 15 years as a singer in the church choir. This position affords him regular opportunities to unearth and conduct forgotten gems with the loyal singers there and also provides an incentive to improve his self-taught organ-playing.

 

In 2009 he attained a Diploma in Choral conducting from the Association of British Choral Directors.

​

Richard was also Musical Director of Sine Nomine Singers (now re-named Hillingdon Chamber Choir) and conducted 25 concerts with them between 2016 and 2024.
