“Ingeniously programmed and impeccably delivered” – Gramophone
“Owain Park moulded the beat with fluency and a sense of momentum” – The Tablet
Owain is much in-demand as a conductor. He is Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Singers and maintains a busy schedule of conducting projects with ensembles including the Southbank Sinfonia, Ensemble la Sportelle, and Cappella Cracoviensis. His own vocal consort, The Gesualdo Six, tours extensively around the world and has been praised for its interpretations of Renaissance and contemporary music.
Last year at the BBC Proms he conducted the BBC Singers in a selection of motets by Bruckner as a prelude to the Berlin Philharmonic’s performance of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 5 under Kiril Petrenko. He also conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra in works by Anne Dudley and Iain Farrington as part of the ‘BBC Singers at 100’ celebrations at the Barbican.

Owain is a highly experienced vocal trainer and delivers tailored one-day choral/vocal workshops.

Testimonials
“The masterclass with Owain was excellent! Owain was engaging and flexible and was able to impart so many tips and different ways of approaching the music without ever rushing. Owain was able to inspire the singers to listen closely to each other whilst prioritising each individual’s contribution to the sound – with focus on line and direction in particular. It was a hugely enjoyable evening and we have received nothing but positive feedback from the singers involved. We would recommend highly!”
