“Stephen Gregson obviously enjoyed a rapport both with the  

choir and the music that enabled him to conduct most unobtrusively”  Concert report

"A fantastic day.  Stephen was inspiring.  Lovely range of pieces - with varying levels of challenge"    Singing Day participant

 

Stephen studied conducting with Dr. Jack Stamp at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Since graduating Master of Arts in 2000 he has worked mainly in the UK in the field of choral conducting. He directed a local choral society in Broadstone (Dorset), until his move to Twickenham, presenting regular concerts of the standard sacred and, to a lesser extent, secular repertoire, and gaining a reputation locally for imaginative programming. He has also undertaken choral direction for Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (USA), directed the Milton Abbey Festival, and staged performances for South Wesex Opera. In 2014 he was appointed Musical Director of the chamber choir, Cantanti Camerati, based in Richmond, South West London, a position he held until 2018.  Stephen is now residing in Corsham, Wiltshire. 

Stephen is a choral conducting tutor for the national choral organisation Sing for Pleasure. He has tutored at a variety of levels from foundation to advanced for SFP.
