A Concert

And what a concert it was! Piano, cello, choral & jazz music. All performed/conducted/accompanied and held together by Arjun. 

Meet Max Tung, our next young conductor!

We are delighted to have appointed our next young conductor, who will be starting in September.

Max Tung ARSM

Here he is in his own words:

"Hi! I’m Max and I’m a year 11 starting in September. I play piano (ARSM diploma) & organ and I’m currently studying at Haberdashers’ Adams as well as the junior school of Birmingham Conservatoire! I’ve been part of orchestras and choirs throughout my school years along with some musical theatre productions.

This will be my first foray into conducting (except for some sporadic adventures during rehearsals) and I’m definitely looking forward to taking on more of a leadership role in creating music!"

Arjun's recital Sunday 26 July 2026 at 3pm

Come and hear Arjun perform and watch him conduct at this free event at St Michael and All Angels, Tettenhall! 

We are delighted to be supporting him - with the help of wonderful friends from other choirs.

 

Could you be our next young conductor? (Start September 2026)

You may have seen the news that Arjun, our young conductor, has an offer to study music at Cambridge University and will be leaving us this year. Could you be the person to replace him in September?

Meet our new Musical Director: Arjun Toora

Arjun Toora is a Year 12 student at Adams Grammar School in Newport. He plays the piano, in which he achieved Grade 8 with distinction last year. He also plays cello in the Wolverhampton Symphony Orchestra, is principal cellist in the Wolverhampton Youth Orchestra and part of the trumpet section in the Youth Wind Orchestra.

Arjun has experience of singing in school choirs and musicals and played Kenickie in a school production of Grease. He also has a strong interest in composition. He says music is one of his biggest passions and he is looking forward to gaining experience in leadership and taking on greater responsibility in creating music, in addition to playing it.

We are delighted to be able to offer Arjun the opportunity to do just that, and are very excited to be working with him as our new conductor.
