Jeremy Summerly

British choral conductor Jeremy Summerly has made many recordings with the Oxford Camerata, which he founded in 1984. He also directs the Choir of St. Luke's, Chelsea, and is a musicologist, radio presenter, and educator. Summerly was born on February 28, 1961. He attended Lichfield Cathedral School, Winchester College, and New College Oxford. His conducting career began while he was still a student at the latter, as he led the New College Chamber Orchestra and the Oxford Chamber Choir. Graduating with honors in 1982, he landed a job as a studio manager at the BBC, also doing historical musicology research at King's College in London. He has been heard on the BBC 3 and BBC 4 radio networks since 1991 as a presenter and reviewer. In 1983, Summerly became the conductor of the choir at the Edington Music Festival, and the following year, he formed the Oxford Camerata choir. He remained as director of that group as of the mid-2020s. In 1991, he and the Oxford Camerata recorded the album Lamentations for the Naxos label; they have continued to record for that label, often issuing multiple albums in the course of a year. The group's repertory comprises mostly Renaissance music but extends back to Machaut and Hildegard of Bingen and forward through Fauré to contemporary music. Summerly also conducted the Oxford Schola Cantorum from 1990 to 1996, and in 2010, he became director of music at St. Luke's Church, Chelsea, in London. From 2015 to 2019, Summerly was director of music at St. Peter's College, Oxford. He has taught at Gresham College in London and at the Royal Academy of Music, of which he is an honorary member. He has edited several collections of printed music and is the author of articles in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Historical Performance in Music as well as other major reference books. He continues to direct the Choir of St. Luke's, Chelsea, with which he issued a recording of music by contemporary composer Philip W.J. Stopford on Naxos in 2024. By the mid-2020s, his recording catalog comprised some 50 items.
