Burnley Municipal choir (BMC) is proud to welcome Peter Morrison as its new choirmaster. Peter, a past student of Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and past organ scholar at Liverpool’s R.C. Cathedral, is an accomplished musician and has himself performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the North, including York Minster. Choirs have always played a major part of his life, both as conductor and accompanist and Peter is already schooling BMC with enthusiasm and expertise in learning works for their forthcoming concert on 3rd December 2011 at St Peters Church, Church Street, Burnley. The choir will continue to be led at concerts by their established conductor, Nick Concannon
Hodges, and will be accompanied as formerly by the Burnley Municipal Orchestra. However, both choir and orchestra intend holding future performances at St Peters Church rather than at Burnley Mechanics as in the past. They will continue to sing with excellent soloists from Royal Northern College of Music as well as established international and local singers.
