2007 is John Huw Davies’ 50th year as a professional musician. He began his career as a singer and broadcaster, singing in many major concert halls in Britain and abroad, giving recitals for Radio 3 and working regularly on programmes for BBC radio, TV and ITV. As a conductor he has given broadcasts with the BBC Singers and the BBC Northern Singers, with his own Monteverdi Singers, and regularly conducts the major choral and orchestral works. He taught at Trinity College of Music and the University of North Wales, and gives many courses each year for solo and choral singers.
The performance of the Verdi Requiem at the Bridgewater Hall was partly a celebration of this 50th anniversary, and is also an opportunity for the singers and players, with whom he has enjoyed making music, to perform the Requiem in one of the country's most recent and best concert halls, the home of the Hallé Orchestra
We have a choir of 250 singers, many of whom come from choirs with which he is at present involved as well as singers who have taken part in his summer schools and other courses, master classes etc.
