Bristol Choral Society is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Padmore as co-president of the choir, alongside the Lord Mayor of Bristol.
Mark has established an international reputation, particularly in the field of Baroque music and that of Bach especially.
The Sunday Telegraph called him 'just about the finest Bach tenor in the business' and The Independent 'the international Evangelist of choice'. Mark recently sung the role of the Evangelist in the choir's performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio at the Colston Hall on 17 December 2011.
