MUSICAL DIRECTOR -
Hilary was born and brought up on the Isle of Man and developed a love of music from
an early age. She learned to play the Flute and whilst still at school played in
her school orchestra, was principal flautist in the Manx Youth Orchestra and Wind
Band and was also a member of the Swarthmore Players -
Hilary studied at St Martin’s College, Lancaster, a teacher training college, and
gained a degree in education. Whilst at college she sang in the college choir, college
chapel choir and played in the college orchestra and the Haffner Orchestra -
Her first teaching job brought her to North Warwickshire. During the 1980s Hilary played in the pit orchestra for several productions of the Nuneaton Gilbert and Sullivan Society and the Nuneaton Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society. She also sang with the City of Birmingham Choir for 4 years until her children came along.
From 1992 – 2005 Hilary worked for Warwickshire County Music Service as a Class Music teacher. In 2005 she had a career change and now works as an Accounts Manager for a local Nuneaton business.
Prior to joining Bedworth Singers Hilary was a member of Atherstone Choral Society.
Hilary joined Bedworth Singers as a second Soprano in 2004 and having seen three musical directors come and go decided she’d like to have a go at conducting since she missed the creative challenge of teaching. Her desire to conduct became stronger after attending a choral conducting course at Reading University.
This is Hilary’s first appointment as a Musical Director. She has a tremendous passion for music which she hopes rubs off on the choir.
She is also a member of the Nuneaton branch of the Society of Recorder Players.
