Peter Broadbent awarded New Year’s Honour!
We are delighted to congratulate Peter Broadbent, our Music Director, on his being awarded an MBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honours for his services to music.
While our followers – and as his award citation recognises – might know him best as our conductor since we came together, he has also conducted the London Mozart Players, Divertimenti Chamber Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Southern Sinfonia, the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra, Apollo Voices and the BBC Singers, broadcasting frequently on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM.
Guest engagements outside the UK include concerts with the Debrecen Philharmonic Orchestra and Kodály Chorus in Debrecen (Hungary), a broadcast concert with the National Chamber Choir in Dublin and a European tour with the World Youth Choir.
As an educator and tutor, Peter was the first Director of Training for the Association of British Choral Directors and gives workshops and master classes throughout Europe. In 2007 he was presented with the Pro Cultura Hungarica Award by the Hungarian Ministry of Culture for his services to Anglo-Hungarian musical relations, and in 2017 was presented with the Knight’s Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit.
Congratulations, Maestro!
