JEREMY JACKMAN MUSIC DIRECTOR……

countless recordings and broadcasts. He hasworked with Julie Andrews, Placido Domingo andJohn Denver all at the same time, and once foundhimself (for TV) singing Christmas music onhorseback at 8.30 am on a freezing Octobermorning beside a lake in Yorkshire - wearing amonk's habit (don't ask!)

As a conductor you might expect to find that he hasperformed at the Royal Festival Hall, the RoyalAlbert Hall and St John's Smith Square (and youwould be right). He has also directed performancesat St Paul's Cathedral, St Mark's Venice, and theTheatre Royal, Drury Lane. Less likely venuesinclude St Pancras station, a Belfast shopping mall,and underground caves in Slovenia: not forgettingthe performance of Mussorgsky's 'Night on a BareMountain' with full symphony orchestra on a beachin Jamaica. Did he break the world record forconducting the largest number of participants inBenjamin Britten's "Noye's Fludde" at AlexandraPalace in 2009? There were certainly several zoos’-worth of children….

Jeremy's compositions have been performed inconcert halls around the world, and he was recentlysurprised to discover that his music has evenreached the silver screen. His arrangement ofBach's 'Bist du bei mir' is featured on the French film'Polisse', which won the Jury Prize at the CannesFilm Festival in 2011.

Inspired by Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music, thisaptly named chamber choir of thirty mixed voices hasbeen gracing the musical scenes of this country andabroad for thirty three years. Although the choir arebased in Leicester, many of its members travel anextraordinary number of miles to join their MusicDirector, Jeremy Jackman for his all day Saturdayworkshops, together with intervening rehearsals takenby their Assistant Music Director. All members havehad wide experience of choral singing and many alsohave a high reputation as soloists

Their broad repertoire includes music from theRenaissance to the present day, with new workswritten especially for them by contemporarycomposers, including Jeremy Jackman. Well knowncelebrities who have shared the concert platform withthe Cecilians include The Temperance Seven, EmmaJohnson and John Lenehan, Emma Kirkby andAnthony Rooley, Peter Skellern, The CambridgeBuskers, Fairer Sax and Black Dyke Brass Band.Other guests have included East Midlands musicians -the saxophonist Alistair Parnell, Emma Pountney,Clarinet, Antony Clare, Piano, Queen's Park Sinfoniaand saraBande Orchestra and the accompanists JohnKeys, Neville Ward, Roger Bryan and Andrew King.

Over the years, the choir has toured NorthernGermany, Northern Italy, Belgium, Spain, Paris, Austriaand the Czech Republic. They recently returned froma very successful tour of Tuscany which includedconcerts in the Duomo di San Martino, Lucca, St.Mark's English Church, Florence and La Cattedrale deiSanti Pietro e Francesco, Massa.

The Singers owe much of their acclaim to the quality ofMusic Directors past and present. For the early yearsthey were guided by Malcolm Goldring and Brian Kayand for the past twenty-seven years, they havecontinued to thrive under the direction of JeremyJackman. However, the success wouldn't be possiblewithout the dedication and commitment of the thirtymembers themselves.

Details of the Singers' CD's and further informationabout the choir are available on their website:
