Geoffrey Keating read music at Oxford and after 17 years as Director of Music at Millfield School, Somerset he took early retiral to concentrate on his various passions - music, photography, sailing and fishing. He is a lecturer with Glasgow University Adult Education and is resident tutor at Rothay Manor Music Holidays in Ambleside.
Geoff has an immense wealth of knowledge about music and as a conductor, his rehearsals are a joy - in many ways a masterclass in orchestral music. He encourages the players to listen to the music with fresh ears and to understand various subtleties which most never imagined existed in the composers' minds.
