Richard Smith has directed the Froxfield Choir since January 2005.
He is also the Director of Music at The Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Reading, one of the few parish churches outside London to maintain a fully professional choir. In 2005 he was appointed conductor of the Wantage Choral Society. In 1998 he won the Royal College of Organist’s John Brook Prize for choral conducting.
Richard took his postgraduate studies on the organ and harpsichord in Munich and Bremen, and has given recitals all over the UK. When he is not performing or training his choirs, he spends his time editing early music and examining. He has a particular interest in late seventeenth century church music.
