The Thames Singers are a group of friends who, in various forms, have sung together for almost 35 years, with other more recent members joining along the way. All sing in other choirs but love the intimacy of singing beautiful music in a small group. There is such a golden wealth of choral music both old and new and in these small concerts we are free to indulge our love of it fully. We look forward to sharing this with you.

Jozef Janik grew up in Slovakia and moved to London in 2000 to attend the Royal Academy of Music taking a Post Grad. and a Masters in piano and studying with Patsy Toh and Graeme Humphrey. He is sought after as a soloist, an accompanist, and an educator. Jozef works with a wide range of musicians and span both Classical and Jazz idioms; hence you can see him conducting Vivaldi's Gloria one day and playing jazz at The Vortex the very next day. Jozef lives in Ealing and performs locally (at the Ealing Half Marathon or Hanwell Hootie). Highlights from the past few years include venues such as The Blue Note Jazz Club and the Royal Festival Hall. He also organises concerts and workshops as he loves being an educator. Jozef currently teaches students at Ealing Junior Music School, Notting Hill and Ealing High School and St. Benedict's School. Jozef  has  given concerts in Austria, Sweden, France, Japan, Tunisia and Norwich, and has performed piano concertos by Mozart, Haydn, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Schumann and Bach. Non-musical interests include playing chess, watching TED talks and go-karting with his 8 year old son.
