MUSIC - ADJUDICATOR 2007

Steven Roberts

Steven Roberts has combined a career in education with his work as a conductor, musical director and adjudicator, working both in this country and in Europe and as far afield as Peru and Bahrain.  His work in education has included training musicians and actors and most recently as senior manager with responsibility for all links with schools.

Despite a very busy educational career Steven has conducted numerous groups, including the Liverpool Welsh Choral Union, The Huddersfield Choral Society, Dodworth and Skelmanthorpe Male Voice Choirs and a variety of orchestras, brass bands and wind ensembles.

Alongside his commitments with the Altrincham Choral Society, he holds the same position with the Chesterfield Philharmonic Choir. He regularly leads choral days with both choirs, most recently conducting the Requiem by Karl Jenkins in Chesterfield.

Steven has also worked as musical director for a number of theatrical productions, and this diversity reflects his music and drama training.

Steven has also acted as vocal coach for Sing Live Limited, preparing singers for concerts in Huddersfield, the Royal Albert Hall, Leeds and most recently a 1000 voices at the FM Hallam Arena in Sheffield.  He was recently musical director for ‘Sing the Musicals’ at the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham.

He has recently taken up the permanent post of Music and Company Development Director Sing Live which will see him working exclusively within the music industry, with initial concerts planned in Belfast, Dublin and Florida.

Steven is an adjudicator member of the British and International Federation of Festivals, regularly adjudicating in this country and also for the Classic FM sponsored Music for Youth.
