Musical Director  |  Alice Dicker

 

We are delighted to welcome Alice as Musical Director of Yeovil Chamber Choir
 

Alice grew up in Somerton and started learning the clarinet age 10. She was one of the earliest members of the Somerton Band, and won the Arts Festival ‘Young Musician’ competition on several occasions. At 13 she passed her Grade 8 examination and subsequently earned a music scholarship to Queens College, Taunton. At 17, while studying for her A levels, Alice was awarded the DipABRSM for performance.
 

After finishing Sixth Form, Alice studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. During her time there, she took the opportunity to study many facets of music – from conducting and performance coaching, through to Alexander Technique and both solo and orchestral performance.


Highlights of Alice’s instrumental career include performing in Westminster Abbey, the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) and Barcelona Cathedral.

After a car accident in 2017, Alice refocused her energies on singing, teaching and conducting. She is the Musical Director for Yeovil Chamber Choir, South Petherton Combined Arts Society Choir and Mid Wessex Singers. Alice is also the vocal coach/singing teacher at Huish Episcopi Academy and Strode College, has a handful of private students, and works as a freelance singer and conductor.
 

Recent highlights include conducting the premier of Matthew Coleridge’s My Beloved Spake, singing Brindisi from La Traviata with Matthew Minter, and conducting Vivaldi’s Gloria with Malcolm Archer on Organ.
