Aaron has written extensively for choir. His works have been performed across the UK and internationally by choirs such as The Bach Choir, the choirs of Magdelen and Oriel Colleges, Oxford, and the Luceat Choir. His latest choral work 'Fallen Soldier', was described by celebrated choral composer Philip Stopford as "a tender and deeply emotional piece". 'Fallen Soldier' is a collaboration with the widely acclaimed author, Frederick Forsyth CBE, setting the moving words of his poem of the same name to music, commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE and VJ Day. Earlier this year Aaron was commissioned by the Wooburn Singers as part of their spring concert, setting words by Oscar Wilde for choir, cello and piano.

 

Further back, Aaron was the winner of the 2019 Sir David Willcocks carol competition, as a result of which his winning composition, 'A Spotless Rose', was performed by The Bach Choir at Cadogan Hall (you can read further here). The carol is featured on the Luceat Choir's Christmas CD and has subsequently been broadcast on Radio 3. In 2016 he was commissioned by the Wayne State University Concert Band to arrange one of his choral works (a setting of ‘O Magnum Mysterium’) for concert band and this enjoyed further performances by concert bands in the USA.

 

Aaron has sung extensively with choirs: from the age of 8-13 he was a chorister with Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum under the direction of Benjamin Nicholas, achieving grade 8 singing with distinction. Since then he has sung with the choirs of Merton and Keble Colleges (Oxford), the Rodolfus Choir, and the BBC Proms Youth Choir. He is now Organist and Director of Music at St. Mary's and all Saint church in Beaconsfield
