Musical Director - Luke Spencer

Picture
Luke was born in Leicester and at a very early age he began singing as a cathedral chorister and it is there that his musical career began. Having been educated at Ratcliffe College ( RC ), he went on to study voice and organ at the Royal Northern College of Music ( RNCM ) under Robert Alderson and Ronald Frost respectively and also read music at Cardiff University ( SMCU ) being tutored by John Hugh Thomas and Kelvin Thomas. His studies also took him to the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome (  PISMR ) where he studied sacred choral music being honoured to have tutoring from His Eminence Cardinal Bartolucci, Director Emeritus of the Sistine Chapel Choir.

 

Previously Head of Expressive Arts at St. Michael’s School in Llanelli, Luke is now Director of Music at Bishop Vaughan Catholic School in Swansea and is also the Assistant Director of Music and Diocesan Organist for the Catholic Diocese of Menevia. He has also recently been appointed as Director of Music at All Saints Church, Mumbles.

 His performing as an organist has taken him far and wide, including recitals at St. Gervais and Le Sacre Coeur in Paris, the Church of St. John Lateran and Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome and St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna as well as many concerts and recitals in British Cathedrals. His singing experience as a soloist has seen him singing with choirs, choral societies and orchestras on the concert platform and in opera and oratorio the length and breadth of the UK.

 His conducting experience includes conducting the Festival Orchestra of Wales, the Chamber Orchestra of Wales, the RNCM Choral Society, Cardiff University Chamber Orchestra, Cantorion Pontyclun, the Gower Chorale, Morriston Tabernacle Choir and he is delighted to have been appointed as conductor of the Cardiff Bach Choir.
