Our Director

David Beckingham is a storied musician who brings decades of experience to the director role at the Kingsgate Chorus.

A love of music and specifically harmony emerged in him at only 12 years old, when he experienced Swahili church songs every Sunday while living in Kenya. The energy of those unified voices showed David that music connects people in a deeply moving way, and through his direction, the same feeling is captured at Kingsgate Chorus.

In his professional music career, David co-founded Juno Award nominated Hey Ocean!, and recorded a plethora of solo material. He has toured extensively across North America and Europe and continues to work on new material. His work often focuses heavily on harmony, a propensity that shines in his choral arrangements for Kingsgate.

David understands that music connects us through more than just notes. He brings passion to his directorial style at Kingsgate Chorus and aims to share the magic that is choral voice with all who participate and listen.
