“…there was a definite richness of quality and finesse in the detail. Noticeable too was Derek’s communication with his singers to give good unanimity and competence throughout in the Fauré Requiem.”

“Derek’s evident joy and love of choral music, together with an insistence on attention to detail, has really lifted the choir to a higher level of performance. He also has a very engaging personality, and his evident extensive knowledge of all aspects of the art of singing, brings out the best in the choir. “

“Derek Mahady directed RWCMD Symphonic Brass from 25 January-1 March 2012. During this period, Derek prepared chorus and brass for two performances of Cadwyn by Gareth Glyn…….
The performances were musical, professionally presented and well-received. Derek’s high musical standards and abilities are matched by his courteous, professional and efficient attitude. This combination drew the best from his performers, with an excellent balance of professional skill and personal affability producing a project that was both enjoyable and impressive.”
