Kenneth Paige LTCL, GTCL, FTCL
The Vox Mundi Choir was pleased to appoint Ken Paige
as its Musical Director from September 2005 and has since
then been responsible for a number of very successful
performances, both here in England and also in Ireland
and Spain. Before conducting the choir he had also been
invited to join them as a "guest pianist" on a number
of occasions.
For 35 years he has been on the Professorial Staff at
Trinity College of Music, London.
Ken studied piano at Trinity College with Gladys Puttick
and Composition with Robert Plowright. Since then he
has led an active free-lance musical life as solo pianist
and accompanist in both classical and jazz fields and has
composed solo instrumental, vocal and choral music,
some of which has been published by Kevin Mayhew Ltd
and Trinity College of Music. He has also written music
for theatre and ballet productions and for a TV
documentary film.
Much of his teaching at both, "Junior level" and also
"Undergraduate Level" at Trinity College has been very
much centred around "Creative Musicianship" and in this
capacity over the years, he has arranged and directed
many demonstrations of musicianship and improvisatory
skills, both here in London at Queen Elizabeth hall,
Queen Mary College, Purcell Room and Wigmore Hall,
and also in Japan at schools and universities in Tokyo,
Kanazawa and Toyama.
Ken has already composed a cantata for Vox Mundi
"Three English Versus" which was premiered by them
in December 2005. He has also composed some solo
songs for selective members and will continue to
compose/arrange further musical scores especially
for this choir, with whom he enjoys sharing his passion
for music.
