Kevin Vockerodt
Kevin Vockerodt was born in South Africa. He made his debut as a concerto soloist at the age of 9, and won numerous awards at national level on both piano and organ. In 1997, he was awarded an Associated Board scholarship to the Royal College of Music, where he studied piano with the late Yonty Solomon, and organ with Timothy Bond and Margaret Phillips.
As a soloist and chamber musician, Kevin has performed throughout the UK, Europe, USA and South Africa, also broadcasting for the latter’s radio corporation. As a much sought-after repetiteur, accompanist and coach he has worked with the Carl Rosa Opera Company, at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Arts Educational drama school in London, and with such eminent conductors as Bob Chilcott, Jonathan Willcocks and Sir David Willcocks. He is a member of the chamber ensemble Chiltern Musica, which promotes the performance of lesser-known works for piano and wind instruments. As an active composer and arranger he has edited and arranged music for the Royal College of Organists and St Michael’s Church, Cornhill (in the City of London), including rarely-performed works by Merbecke and J C Bach.
His current post of Assistant Director of Music at Beechwood Park School in Hertfordshire completes his varied workload.
