Welcome to our new Musical Director, Ben Nicoll

We are delighted to welcome our new MD, Ben Nicoll, from January 2026.

Ben studied conducting at the University of Manchester with Rob Guy, where he was selected for the conducting programme and led various ensembles, masterclasses and two world premieres.

After graduating, he became the conducting scholar at the University of Warwick, studying with Suzzie Vango and Tom Newall, and regularly conducting the Chamber Choir, Chorus, Symphony Orchestra and Vox Ensemble at the Warwick Arts Centre and on tours to Manchester, Coventry, Lichfield, and Prague.

Ben is also Musical Director for the Poynton Gilbert and Sullivan Society, conducting productions of HMS Pinafore and Iolanthe. In September 2025, Ben became an Associate Choral Leader for the Manchester Choral Scholars (in partnership with St Martin-in-the-Fields) and conducted the Burford Orchestra for their autumn term. From January 2026, he can’t wait to get stuck into his new role as Musical Director for Di Voci.

Our final performance of the summer was singing at Christine’s wedding. We performed twice – once in the church, and again in the evening. We were invited to stay afterwards for the evening ceilidh, which was great fun and extremely hot and sweaty!
