At Paisley Philharmonic Choir, we are very fortunate to have excellent musical leadership and direction. You will see from their profiles that both Derrick Morgan and Tim Lambourn have impressive credentials. As Musical Director, Derrick is fullly responsible for the artistic direction of the choir, for choosing the programmes of musical works, for training the choir members accordingly at rehearsals, and for conducting them, along with other performers, at any concerts that are arranged.

The Musical Director arranges the times and places of public performances and associated rehearsal schedules, in agreement with the Management Committee. He will also make recommendations to them in relation to the engagement of musicians and soloists required for performances, and can decide, at his own professional discretion, whether to audition any performer. He has the final say over who may, or may not perform in a concert.

As Accompanist, Tim works closely with Derrick in co-ordinating the music for both performances and rehearsals.
