The music director is the heartbeat of a choir, guiding its artistic vision and bringing out the best in its members. At Vocal Sounds, we’re privileged to have Siân Davies, an accomplished and modern music director, leading our choir. Her thoughtful leadership ensures that each member feels valued and inspired.

Why a Great Music Director Matters

From choosing the repertoire to conducting performances, the music director shapes the choir’s identity and drives its success. Their responsibilities include:

• Repertoire Selection: Crafting setlists that challenge and inspire.
• Rehearsal Leadership: Ensuring each session is productive and enjoyable.
• Musical Interpretation: Bringing the music to life with nuance and passion.
• Inspiration and Motivation: Encouraging growth and confidence in every singer.
