Peter Foggitt is presently Senior Choral Scholar of King's
College Choir.
He has appeared as soloist in Bach's St John Passion, Mozart's The Marriage
of Figaro, and Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on Christmas Carols (for television
broadcast). He has recently completed a tour of England with Collegium
Regale, the a cappella group comprised of the Choral Scholars, of which he is
Musical Director.
Prior to Cambridge, Peter trained as a pianist and composer at Chetham's
School of Music, Manchester, where his first large-scale compositions
(including his first symphony and a setting of the Song of Solomon) were
performed. Recent performances on the piano have included several recitals at
Kettle's Yard, Prokofiev's Seventh Sonata at King's, a recital of
improvisations at Robinson, the Ravel G major Concerto with UCPO, and
Prokofiev's Third Concerto with CUMS I. Future plans include the Piano
Concerto of Khachaturian with CUSO, and Beethoven's Choral Fantasia with
Stephen Cleobury and KCMS.
Peter is also active as a composer
and arranger, working with Court Lane
Music, and with Collegium Regale. He has recently completed commissions for
the Chamber Musicians of Cambridge, the Eden:Stell Guitar Duo, Chichester
Cathedral Choir and the Phoenix Brass Quintet, who are recording his
seven-movement work, The Phoenix Bird, for commercial release later this
year.
