Gareth Edmund Malone (born 9 November 1975)〔 is an English choirmaster and broadcaster, self-described as an "animateur, presenter and populariser of choral singing". He is best known for his television appearances in programmes such as ''The Choir'', which focus on singing and introducing choral music to new participants. Malone was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2012 Birthday Honours, for services to music. ==Biography== Gareth Malone was born into a family of Irish descent as the only child of James and Sian Malone who had met at their local Gilbert and Sullivan society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/featuredarticles/2015/who-do-you-think-you-are/gareth-malone-268/ )〕 His father James Malone grew up in Parkhead in Scotland in an Irish family〔Gibb, Bill (13 April 2014) (Scots singsongs were the making of Gareth Malone ) The Sunday Post, Retrieved 1 June 2014〕 and was a bank manager. His English mother of Irish descent Sian 〔Performance and Identity in Irish Stand-Up Comedy: The Comic 'i' By Susanne Colleary, January 2015, Palgrave Macmillan, Page 24.〕 worked in the civil service.〔Black, Claire (1 June 2014) (Gareth Malone on The Choir, and his new album ) The Scotsman, Retrieved 1 June 2014〕 Gareth was educated at Bournemouth School and because of his passion for singing he was "bullied mercilessly" at school.〔 He sang with the Symphony Chorus of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO)〔Bournemouth Echo〕 and he studied drama at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, where he was in the university choir and composed music for theatre productions. After graduating he gave private tuition and then applied for a postgraduate vocal studies course at the Royal Academy of Music; he passed with distinction in 2005. Until December 2009, Malone worked for the London Symphony Orchestra at LSO St Luke's where he ran their youth choir and community choir. Whilst working at the L.S.O., Malone was awarded the position of Edward Heath Assistant Animateur in 2001. He entered television work when approached by 20/20, a production company which wanted to make a series about singing in schools. Without knowing who could front the programme they had researched the term "community choirmasters" and discovered Malone’s name. ''The Choir'' was the result and won two BAFTAs and a Broadcast award. On 31 December 2009, Malone conducted the first New Year's Eve Twitter Community Choir performance of Auld Lang Syne. He asked his followers on Twitter, and friends on Facebook, to join in with the event. A later project was ''The Knight Crew'', a youth opera based on a book written by Nicky Singer and performed at Glyndebourne. After choosing approximately 50 cast out of over 400 applicants between the ages of 14-20 through workshops and auditions, and months of rehearsals, ''The Knight Crew'' was performed at Glyndebourne between 3 and 6 March 2010. The project was filmed for a television series, ''Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne'' and aired on the BBC on 1 July 2010. In May 2010, Malone was awarded the Freedom of the City of London by Nick Anstee, Lord Mayor of the City of London (not to be confused with the Mayor of London) in recognition of his music education work in that city. In 2013, Malone recruited 16 singers aged from 18-27 for his Gareth Malone Voices choir. They recorded a CD album and gave concerts at 14 locations throughout Britain in 2014.〔Dammann, Guy (22 May 2014) (Gareth Malone's Voices review – before you know it, you're singing too ) The Guardian, Retrieved 1 June 2014〕〔Laws, Roz (7 March 2014) (Touring is a dream for TV choirmaster Gareth Malone ) Birmingham Post, Retrieved 1 June 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gareth Malone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
