New Music Staff 11th April 2014       We are delighted to announce that Peter Foggitt MA (Cantab), MMus, will succeed Lee Dunleavy as Director of Music from September 2014. Peter studied at Fettes College, Edinburgh, and at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester before going up to Cambridge where he was Senior Choral Scholar of King’s College. Following Cambridge he studied piano and singing at Trinity College of Music and earned the degree of Master of Music at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He has recorded extensively as a choral singer, as vocal soloist and as organist, and is a highly-regarded composer with dozens of compositions to his credit. He is Director of the innovative vocal ensemble Cries of London, and the Musical Director of re:sound Musical Theatre. He has served as Baritone Soloist and Deputy Organist and Conductor of the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London, and is at present Director of Music of All Saints’ Church, Putney. Peter writes:   I am delighted and honoured to be carrying on the tradition and exceptional quality of music-making that Lee Dunleavy and his equally distinguished predecessors have created at All Saints'. In the short time that I spent with the Choirs at interview, I was hugely impressed with the standard of singing, of discipline, and of commitment to the liturgy. I look forward to developing these elements further; I look forward also to working with the Friends of All Saints' Music in promoting and enhancing the choir's public profile.     The current Director of Music, Lee Dunleavy MA (Oxon), FRCO (DipCHD), ACertCM, will be pursuing a freelance career from 1 May, and in the interim we are delighted that Dr David Arcus will come to All Saints. Dr Arcus holds degrees from Yale University and has just completed thirty years as Organist of the Duke University Chapel in Durham, North Carolina, USA. Finally, we are pleased that Charlie Hubbard FRCO, who will graduate from Cambridge University this Summer, will come to All Saints as Interim Travis Organ Fellow, following the appointment of Hilary Punnett MMus as Assistant Organist of Lincoln Cathedral. We are proud to have Charlie, a former Organ Scholar of both Peterborough Cathedral and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, join us for this time.
