Carrington is one of the choral world’s elite … with the hand of a choral magician… a teacher and advocate who fires the imagination of his students.

His numerous concerts and masterclasses reveal a cast-iron professionalism and boundless energy, its authoritative direction wrought from a wealth of experience and a profound musical mind.

For me, Simon’s rehearsal [with Yale Schola Cantorum] formed some of the finest ‘composition lessons’ I’ve ever experienced!

Carrington is an excellent leader whose gestures were an effective blend of clear patterns and shaping that were never self-indulgent or extravagant and always in good taste.
