7 September 1944 – November 2023

The Waynflete Office has been informed of the death of Michael Kibblewhite. We send our condolences to Michael’s family and friends. We hope to post an obituary shortly. Amongst his many interests and activities Michael was Founder and Musical Director of Coro 94, one of the UK’s foremost chamber choirs. We reproduce the tribute they posted on their website here:

Farewell, nostro caro amico…

The Coro 94 family are beyond heartbroken to have to share the news that our founder, Music Director and friend, Michael Kibblewhite, has passed away.

For many of us, Michael had been a teacher, mentor and part of our family for most of our lives. The impact he has had on so many is enormous.

For now we will take some time to celebrate, remember and honour an extraordinary man who brought music and joy to so many lives.
