New president of Bristol Choral Society Mark Padmore is ‘best at Bach’

December 29, 2011 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

BRISTOL, UK — Acclaimed tenor Mark Padmore has been announced as a new president of Bristol Choral Society, alongside the Lord Mayor of Bristol, and is the first appointment since the passing of the choir’s much-missed late president Sir Charles Mackerras.

Mark has established an enviable worldwide reputation, particularly in the field of Baroque music and that of Bach especially, giving him the reputation of one of the finest Bach tenors in the business.

His first impact for the society will be very much on home ground, performing Bach’s Christmas Oratorio at Colston Hall on Saturday, December 17.

Mark says: “I was delighted to accept Bristol Choral Society’s invitation to become a president of the choir.

“I have sung with the choir before (Bach’s Mass in B minor in 2008) and was impressed by the quality of the singingand, of course, the musical direction of their conductor, Adrian Partington, with whom I have worked on many occasions.

“I am very much looking forward to performing with the choir again.”
