Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Glasgow, said: “The University of Glasgow has always believed that excellence and opportunity must go hand in hand. Through the University of Glasgow Children’s Choir, we hope to provide children across our city with access to exceptional musical education and opportunities.

“This initiative embodies our commitment to ensuring that every young person in Glasgow, regardless of their circumstances or background, can develop their talents and abilities to the highest standard. For the University and the city to thrive, we must empower people from across our communities to meet their full potential.”

At the heart of the new development is the appointment of David Wynn-Evans as the new director of the choir. An accomplished choral scholar and gifted musician, Mr Wynn-Evans will work directly with children in schools across the city, delivering professional-standard vocal tuition and building a choir of exceptional quality.
