       KING'S LYNN FESTIVAL CHORUS
       WELCOMES.......


       King's Lynn Festival Chorus take
       great pleasure in welcoming BEN
       HORDEN    as   their   new
       Accompanist. He was successful
       in  the  auditions  in  which  5
       candidates were shortlisted.
        He replaces Chris Brown who
       becomes  Head  of  Music  at
       Chipping  Norton  School  in
       Oxfordshire.
        Ben  is  an  aspiring  artist
       pursuing  a  diverse  career  as  an
       organist  and  choral  conductor.
       Church music shaped much of his
       early  career  and  he  has  held  a
       number of church and cathedral
       positions.  He  often  collaborates
       with singers, instrumentalists and ensembles as accompanist, continuo
       player and conductor.
        As a solo artist, Ben has given recitals on some of England's finest
       organs.  Forthcoming highlights include York Early Music Festival,
       London  Handel  Festival,  Sainte-Radegonde,  Poitiers,  and  La
       Madeleine, Paris.
        A spokesman of the Festival Chorus said, 'We are really looking
       forward to our exciting 41st season, this time with Ben at the piano.  A
       highlight is the visit of the internationally acclaimed group STILE
       ANTICO who are also conducting a workshop with the Chorus'.
        New  members  are  always  welcome.    Please  visit  their  website
       www.kingslynnfestivalchorus.co.uk   for further details.
