Tim Brown
Course Director
Tim Brown has been associated with the Berwang choral courses for many years, and in 2024 re-created the course as an eight-day singing experience, in which intensive choral singing occurs in a fun, holiday atmosphere.
In a musical career spanning fifty years, Tim has been equally involved in both musical performance and education. Trained at Westminster Abbey and King’s College, Cambridge, he was a founding member of The Scholars vocal ensemble (singing countertenor) before taking up teaching positions that eventually led in 1979 to the Directorship of Music at Clare College, Cambridge University, with whom he gained an international reputation.
He re-founded Cambridge University Chamber Choir and later founded the professional chamber choir English Voices as an opportunity for young professional singers, with performances that included frequent appearances at the Aix-en-Provence Opera Festival. More recently, The Academy of English Voices brings the very best amateur singers together with professional musicians for projects requiring larger choruses, leading to critical acclaim in a number of performances in London with the Outcry Ensemble (director James Henshaw).
Tim has recently set up the Sizewell Creative Choir, a workplace choir for Sizewell C Nuclear Plant, and works extensively as a choral clinician with amateur choruses in churches, schools and universities around the globe. He is also active as a composer.
