| | When The Times of London described John Hywel Williams in an interview as “the Svenagali of the baton”, they captured, in those simple words, his lifelong magic and passion for choral singing – whether in the role of conductor, director, trainer, lecturer, educationalist, composer or adjudicator.
It is this passion, coupled with a strong philosophy for the international language of music, that has seen John Hywel Williams drive the development of numerous choirs and choral initiatives and pioneer the export of Welsh choral singing around the world with countless national and international performances at world leading concert halls and a stream of radio and television broadcasts and recordings.
Graduating from the University of Wales with qualifications from the Royal Academy of Music, The London College of Music and the Trinity College London, John Hywel Williams led the field by taking the very first British choir behind the Iron Curtain of Eastern Europe in the early years of the Cold War and the first British choir to undertake a concert tour of Moscow – receiving national media attention on his choral adventures.
In addition to his achievements with his own choirs, John Hywel Williams has also has been a guest conductor and adjudicator at numerous choral and singing competitions and festivals in the United Kingdom, Western and Eastern Europe. In recognition of his achievements and services to music, John Hywel Williams received the Fellowship of Rotary International and was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

| | Born in Bethnal Green in the East End of London, David Wright received no musical training as a child. His interest in music began after the death of his father when he was nine, through subsequent involvement in the local church. It was there he discovered the piano and organ and taught himself to play ‘by ear’, nurturing a love of the music of Bach and Mozart. At the age of sixteen he had his first piano lesson and learned to read music, later going on to study harpsichord at Trinity College of Music, where he won the Ella kidney prize for early music and graduated with honours.
David later graduated with distinction from the Royal College of Music in 2003 where for two consecutive years he won the Richard the Third and Century Fund Prizes. In 2003 he also won first prize in the prestigious Broadwood Harpsichord Competition, an international event held at London’s Fenton House where he became artist in residence. As a soloist and accompanist David works regularly with some of the world’s leading ensembles and musicians. He has directed concerts from the harpsichord including the first modern performance of Thomas Arne’s ballad opera ‘The Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green’. David is engaged regularly amongst the artists at Dartington International Summer School and as repetitieur with the English Touring Opera and The English Bach Festival. David’s radio and television broadcasts include performances as a finalist in the York Early Music Competition and solos at the Handel House Museum London (both for BBC Radio3) and more recently a recital as part of the Belfast Music Festival, broadcast on BBC Northern Ireland. Just recently, David was assistant musical director to Jean-Claude Malgoire in a production of Rameau’s Platee at the Megaron in Athens with the English Bach Festival, with whom he will be performing Monteverdi’s l’Orfeo in the New Year.
During 2006, much of David’s time has been devoted to The Goldberg Variations which he has performed extensively though out the UK and abroad. He is planning to record them in 2007. Future live performances include: Chelsea Arts Festival on the 11th of March 07, St Martin-in-the-Fields on the 1st of May 07, Dartington International Summer School in July-August 07 and Handel House Museum on the 23rd of August 07.
