Director's name here
This is our Music Director, Victor Wong. Victor was Music Director of the Chorus from 2003 to 2007 and returned to the role in August 2022.
A native of Hong Kong, Victor started learning the piano from an early age and only got into singing by signing up for the wrong afterschool activity in his teens! He was nevertheless hooked by the harmonies in the school choir and was recruited into the church choir soon after. Following these serendipitous events, he discovered a cappella music and maintains a huge passion for the unaccompanied voice and vocal harmonies.
Victor started his conducting journey with a book brought from a concert hall gift shop: The Armchair Conductor and subsequently trained as a secondary school Music teacher, working in schools in the UK and Asia. He is a trained Kodály practitioner and has led workshops for music educators, coached children and church choirs in Hong Kong and India, and is currently studying for a Masters in Voice Pedagogy.
In addition to directing Anvil Chorus, he is a Choral Director for the National Schools Singing Programme, directs the Alcester Singers and sings baritone with the 2025 8th placed barbershop quartet, 404.
