Composer, Choirmaster, Conductor.

John Baird has been a classical composer, conductor and teacher all his life. He writes music for people who want to sing and listen to modern music full of memorable tunes with soul.


The emotional impact of the music is phenomenal, the hypnotic melodies and rich harmonies touch the listener deeply. Choirs love singing his music, it is aimed at people who enjoy old-fashioned values and disciplines with an up-to-date feel. The audience sing the melodies long after they finish, the tunes stay with the listener.

John Baird loves to play great composers work, he enjoys re-working pieces and writing compositions, his passion for writing, performing and listening to great music is abundant. His melodies and harmonies are simple and effective, the writing and realisation of these is exciting and satisfying.

John works with the Medici choir, performing a mix of great composer's works, re-worked variations and original pieces.
