Vox Anima London is founded on three central passions:
Choral Artistry, Music Education, and Cultural Exchange.
I have had the distinct honor and pleasure of working with Dr. James Meaders alongside my students at Lincoln Center in NYC and we were completely transformed. Dr. Meaders is the perfect blend of knowledge, motivation, inspiration, and a little bit of magic all wrapped up into one. I watched in awe as he transformed 150 singers (approximately 5 different choirs) who had never sung together before into a finely tuned machine (pun intended)! Dr. Meaders is truly one of a kind!
For more than two decades I have witnessed the phenomenal musicianship of James Meaders. He is consistently able to engage, motivate, train, and lead both his singers and his conducting students to extend their music-making to accomplish beauty and artistry. A gifted pedagogue and conductor, Dr. Meaders emphasizes a holistic approach to his music, such that musicians under his baton have access to remarkably transformative experiences.
Maestro Jamie Meaders is a conductor whose musical abilities display great artistic wisdom, consistent and remarkable musical depth and great discipline throughout his rehearsal process, as well as on the performance stages.
His generosity of spirit, his clear communication skills, and his firm and well thought out leadership produces great final results of well-balanced and nuanced interpretations of the classic masterpieces as well as the newest works of today’s composers.
I have been privileged to sing and learn under the baton of Jamie Meaders in several concerts, both at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Through the rehearsal process, I am in awe of Jamie’s heightened expectations, reverence to the repertoire, and well-natured persona. This ultimately brings out the best in his singers and provides memorable experiences for singers and audiences alike.
