Meet the Performers
Chris Hill
Conductor
As a full time amateur musician Chris is in the lucky position to be able to indulge in his passion for music of many kinds. His first conducting role was age 10 in front of even younger players. His teacher said – you can beat time, stand up and do it. After leaving the electricity industry he had conducting lessons with Huw Gareth-Williams. He has conducted orchestras and choirs in Pembrokeshire, Manchester, Gloucestershire and Bristol. Chris runs the Celli Peppers, a cello octet, gives regular recitals and spent 25 years in the Bristol Bach Choir.
