ONE of Oxford’s most prestigious musical ensembles has hired a new manager to help raise its profile and grow. Baroque virtuosos Oxford Bach Soloists – which was set up to perform, in sequence, the complete canon of J. S. Bach’s vocal works in Oxford over 12 years – have hired Flynn Le Brocq as their new general manager. Flynn has extensive experience across a variety of sectors including education, orchestral and events management and was most recently fundraising manager at the David Ross Education Trust. Alongside his new role at OBS, he will continue his roles as General Manager of Southwell Music Festival in Nottinghamshire and Company Manager at Nevill Holt Opera in Leicestershire.
