Mark Sproson
Mark has been involved in choral music for most of his musical career. He graduated in Music from Bristol University, specialising in composition and performing as a singer, lutenist & percussionist as well as directing performances of his own works.Since moving to London in 1994, he has sung with several high-profile choirs,
performing regularly in London’s major concert venues and on BBC radio and
television. He has taken part in numerous commercial recordings and sung in almost every country in western Europe.
He now specialises in choral conducting, having founded his renowned chamber choir HELIOS Voices in 1999, and gone on to direct numerous choirs and choral
societies including the Harlow Chorus, Genesis Chorale and Chigwellian Choral
Society.
Mark is a trustee of the Association of British Choral Directors (ABCD), an
organisation which promotes training, education and development of choral
directors with the aim of improving standards in all choral activity.
Mark joined Enfield Choral Society in 2004, and the choir celebrated his 20th
anniversary with a season of special concerts, including performances of Bach’s
Magnificat, Jenkins’ The Armed Man, and some of Mark’s own arrangements of pop songs from the 60s and 70s.
Other choral compositions and arrangements by Mark have been performed by choirs around the world. In the summer of 2018, we performed the world premiere of his composition “A Crowd of Stars” for choir and jazz band.
