Our People

William Prideaux, director

“It gives me great pleasure supporting singers in developing their musical, vocal and performance skills. Whether a seven-year-old discovering choral singing for the first time through our youth choir or schools outreach work, or an adult singer refining their karaoke tones into competition-winning performances, the thrill of them achieving what they never imagined possible has given me enough smiles to last a lifetime!”

Our trustees

“The bringing together of a male, a female and a youth choir, plus most recently a mixed chorus, under one umbrella is unusual enough. To that add the exceptional level of performance that those groups achieve, the type and scope of concerts and competitions and other events that they participate in and the outstanding performance partners with which they have shared a stage: all of this makes for something which - if not actually unique - is quite out of the ordinary”

Mark Currier, former trustee

 The work of Peterborough Sings! is supported by an experienced board of trustees with special responsibilities as follows:

  • John Hanby: chair of trustees

  • Sarah Morris: finance

  • Chris Pearman: general

  • Anna Welsford: administration

  • Lisa Hatfield: safeguarding

  • Alessandro Viale: artistic development

  • Bridget Pengelly: grants/bids

  • John Macaulay: general

I’m excited to be in a position to help shape the music education opportunities we can offer Peterborough and the local area, and I would really like to see as many people from as many different walks of life as possible getting involved with the great work Peterborough Sings! does, from school singing days, to project choirs, or simply coming along to see a concert!
