Artistic Manager
Oct, 2013 - PresentCounterpoint (Devon, UK)
Counterpoint was formed by David A in 1989, to perform a capella works with as much emotion and attention to word-painting as possible. Its activities and following have steadily grown since then, with it now being recognized as one of the leading choirs in the south-west of England. The group has not felt confined to any specific style of composition, and it is not unusual for music covering eight centuries to be sung in one concert. From plainsong to new compositions written specifically for the group, Counterpoint strives to provide a vivid and intriguing catalog of music at concerts.
