Colin Davey

Colin Davey was appointed Musical Director of Fareham Philharmonic Choir in April 2006.  

Southampton-born Colin Davey was educated at King Edward VI School Southampton and South Downs College (on Hampshire's pre-professional music course), before reading music at Sheffield University, studying organ with Simon Lindley and Tim Horton and conducting with Paul Brough and Jill Wild. During this time he also held the Sir Henry Coward organ scholarship at Sheffield Cathedral. After graduating, he was appointed to St. Matthew's, Northampton, and played recitals in such prestigious venues as St. Paul's and Westminster cathedrals. Colin trained as a secondary school teacher, and returned to Southampton in 2000.

In addition to Fareham Philharmonic Choir, Colin is musical director of St. Michael and All Angels church in Bassett, Southampton, where he directs both the adult choir, who sing a range of demanding choral repertoire and regularly sing in cathedrals and other large venues, and a newly formed junior choir. He has also directed Southampton Musical Society in three shows, and a range of other local choirs and orchestras. Colin is in demand as an accompanist for both musicians and dancers, and plays for the Royal Ballet School's outreach programme. He works in two local schools, teaching piano at Hampshire Collegiate School in Romsey and working with dancers at Twyford School, and coaches singers at a local dance school.

Colin also works occasionally as composer, arranger and editor, and has had works performed on BBC radio and television.
