Artistic Director of San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus

 
 
 
 
“Under Charles’ direction, the chorus sounded impeccably strong! And they looked so charismatic, but most importantly- PROUD. We were pulled into each song and dance and monologue in ways I was not prepared for.

By the time “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas began,” I was already on the edge of my seat with emotion,
and by the end of that final song, I had tears I simply could not contain.”
— Steve Garcia, LiveNation, San Diego 12/17/2024
“He is one the most effective jazz educators in the UK today … His pioneering work on the design and delivery of jazz education syllabuses has helped bring about a step change in the quality of jazz education at all levels, not only in the UK but internationally, ie Malaysia, Singapore, Australia among other countries. … He has that most precious of skills; he gives students of all ages the confidence to believe that most things are possible.

Brilliant and redemptive. A grand performance by a powerful community to a packed house. What could be better? Hallelujah!!!
