“Jeremy Backhouse is the real deal” – Francis Pott

“Jeremy Backhouse is the real deal: a commanding and fearless conductor of impeccable technique and with a matchless ability to combine iron structural grasp on the grandest scale with a sensitivity to every expressive nuance and possibility. His calm, unflappable temperament and warm personal rapport with his performers have endeared him to a huge range of both professional and amateur musicians, and to countless audiences. As a composer I am permanently in Jeremy’s debt for his meticulously prepared and stunningly intense interpretations of my work. In a just world he would be recognised as a national treasure.”
