Rachel Barnes - Chair Woman
Music has always been a huge part of Rachel’s life. She has sung in choirs from a very young age, and there is something so special about coming together with others to make music. Alongside her work as a genomics technologist at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Rachel sings with the Haverhill Singers and the choirs at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. She has been part of the Haverhill Singers for five years, and has loved being part of its performances and the friendships that come with them. One of her favourite moments has to be performing The Armed Man with an orchestra to a packed church. The concert was an amazing experience and one that will stay with her!

Hugh Conway - Musical Director
We are delighted to introduce Hugh Conway as our new Musical Director. Hugh brings with him a wealth of experience across both the arts and industry, blending his professional background with his lifelong passion for music.
A highly accomplished individual, Hugh co-founded and developed a thriving enterprise. Alongside his business achievements, he has shared his knowledge as a teacher of Physics, Maths and Computer Science, demonstrating a natural ability to inspire and communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.
Music has always remained at the heart of Hugh’s life. A trained opera singer, he has performed professionally as a classical vocalist, studying at university on a choral scholarship. As an experienced teacher and performer of voice, piano, violin, and flute, Hugh’s repertoire spans classical, musical theatre, and jazz.
For the past ten years he has worked as one of the Musical Directors of the Halstead Community Choir and, more recently, has led the formation of the Halstead Dementia Friendly Choir.
Now, as Musical Director of Haverhill Singers, Hugh is dedicated to nurturing excellence in choral performance and guiding the ensemble toward new artistic heights. He aims to inspire both singers and audiences alike through concerts that celebrate the great choral works of past and present.
