Stanford Society Zoom Talk – Paul Spicer

The next Stanford Society talk will be given by Paul Spicer on the 19 June 2023 at 19:30. He will be talking about his new book on Sir Arthur Bliss.

Paul Spicer began his musical training as a chorister at New College, Oxford.  He studied with Herbert Howells and Richard Popplewell (organ) at the Royal College of Music in London, winning the top organ award (the Walford Davies Prize) in his final year.  Paul is best known as a choral conductor, partly through the many CDs he made with the Finzi Singers for Chandos Records and more recently with the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir for Somm Records.

He conducted Bach Choirs in Chester and Leicester before moving to conduct the Birmingham Bach Choir in 1992.  He taught at the Royal College of Music between 1995 and 2008, and also at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire until 2022, conducting its Chamber Choir which made ten highly acclaimed recordings during his tenure. He also taught conducting at Oxford and Durham universities.
