Throughout the last nine years of directing choirs Kris Emmett has discovered an absolute passion for teaching music and inspiring others to further their musical development in a variety of settings, including ecclesiastical, community choral, chamber and choral society. He has founded a successful choral society and two community choirs within the last two-and-a-half years alone and turned around several church choirs. He holds a wealth of experience of directing contemporary worship and training amateur musical groups in order to enhance worship in the church setting. At present, he is pursuing a BA (Hons) in Music at the University of Plymouth and is currently studying for the ARCO and LRSM (Music Direction), following an accredited substitute for the DipABRSM (Music Direction) from the Association of British Choral Directors in 2008. In 2004 he founded and is currently Chief Executive Officer for Musicians’ Horizon – a company that specialises in supplying professional musicians to events throughout the south of England. He also directs the company’s in-house professional choir for various events, including weddings and concerts. Kris is available for work throughout the United Kingdom for choral direction, performance, accompaniment and event management.
Kris is a very inspiring and competent choral conductor with a rare gift of both drawing the best from the voices and creating an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.
Kris has played for my choirs and choral events on several occasions. He is reliable and very able, and I will happily invite him back to play for me again.
