William trained as a choral scholar at King’s College, London. As a baritone, he is in demand as a performer of oratorio and consort music from the Middle Ages to contemporary music.
William has performed many oratorio roles, including the Bach Passions, Messiah, Judas Maccabeus, The Creation (most recently for Sir Nicholas McGegan at Nottingham Royal Concert Hall), Elijah, Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs, the Dvorak Te Deum, Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, Rossini’s Stabat Mater and the Requiems of Verdi, Mozart, Faure and Duruflé.
Staged operatic performances include Dido and Aeneas, Acis and Galatea, Mozart’s Bastien und Bastienne, and Lampe’s The Dragon of Wantley as part of the Ross-on-Wye International Festival. A particular area of interest for William are song and lieder. Recent programmes have included Winterreise, Schumann’s Dichterliebe and Opus 24 and 39 cycles, Richard Rodney Bennett’s Songs Before Sleep, Wolf’s Michaelangelo lieder and Quilter’s Seven Elizabethan Lyrics.
William is the artistic director of The Nottingham Baroque Soloists, whose repertoire includes cantatas by Bach, Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri and Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle. He studies with Rachel Nichols.
Outside of music, William works as a translator from German, specialising in academia and the social sciences. His recent work includes reports to the United Nations Human Rights Council and reports on human rights issues in Germany. He also provides English-language translations for the German Federal Government Press Agency.
