Post by Ex Cathedra

We are thrilled today to announce the appointment of James Burton as our next Artistic Director. Jeffrey Skidmore OBE will retire in Autumn 2027 after an astonishing 57 years, with James joining us in Spring 2026 as Artistic Director Designate. James Burton is an internationally renowned conductor, composer and passionate advocate of singing, widely recognised for his dynamic leadership of choirs and orchestras on both sides of the Atlantic. His appointment, from a strong field, is the result of an inclusive search process of interviews, workshops, rehearsals and performances, involving musicians, trustees, members of Ex Cathedra’s staff and founder Jeffrey Skidmore.
