Justin Doyle started work last night at Berlin’s Philharmonie as chief conductor of the RIAS Kammerchor with a performance of Handel’s oratorio Theodora.

Soloists included Fflur Wyn, Anna Stéphany, Tim Mead, Robert Murray and Roderick Williams but the biggest applause went to the conductor…. they do like a British chorus chief in Berlin.

Justin is presently staff conductor at conductor at Opera North and music director of the Haffner Orchestra in Lancaster.

  • Peter says:

    Richly deserved – Justin is a serious talent.
