Joseph Cullen is one of this country’s leading choral conductors and his work with the London Symphony Chorus has earned him two Grammy awards in recent years. He has been Chorus Master of the Huddersfield Choral Society since 1999, and this year made his début with the Northern Sinfonia. He has worked closely with some of the world’s leading conductors including Sir Simon Rattle, Sir Neville Marriner, Sir Mark Elder, Mariss Jansons, Valery Gergiev and Michael Tilson Thomas.

Joseph maintains a national profile as an organist and a continuo player. He has inaugurated many new organs for which he has been consultant for and, this year he gives concerts on new and restored organs in Huddersfield and Paisley Abbey where he was once sub-organist. He is committed to mentoring young musicians as they emerge onto the professional scene, and has established choral conducting scholarships with both the London Symphony Chorus and the Huddersfield Choral Society.
