Elizabeth Scott – Music Director, VOX

Elizabeth Scott graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 1995 as a flute major and then studied choral conducting, vocal performance and aural training in Hungary and Germany. Before her appointment as Music Director of VOX, Sydney Philharmonia’s youth choir, she was the company’s Assistant Chorus Master (2006–2008). She was Acting Music Director of Sydney Philharmonia Choirs for the first half of 2013. Elizabeth is also the Associate Conductor of Sydney Chamber Choir and is also in demand as a guest choral director for

ensembles including Gondwana Choirs, Coro Innominata, Macquarie University Singers and Orpheus Choral Music, among others. Elizabeth is currently Music Performance Projects Officer at The Arts Unit, a specialist branch of the Department of Education and Training, and Director of Vocal and Choral Studies at the Conservatorium High School. She has participated in the Symphony Australia Conductor Development Program, and in 2008 received the Sydney Choral Symposium Foundation Choral Conducting Scholarship. Elizabeth Scott sings with Cantillation and has performed and recorded with Pinchgut Opera and The Song Company.

VOX – an exciting vocal ensemble for young adults – is one of the four principal choirs that make up Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Australia’s largest choral organisation. VOX performs a wide repertoire of classical, popular and contemporary music under Music Director Elizabeth Scott. From contemporary ensemble Halcyon to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, VOX made its first appearance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in its own right in 2011, singing in Grieg’s Peer Gynt. Other appearances with the orchestra include Beethoven Nine, Tchaikovsky’s Queen of Spades and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Highlights this year include concerts with organist David Drury, American composer and conductor Eric Whitacre, and performances with the Sydney Symphony - the Return of the King, the final instalment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Britten’s War Requiem.
