Francis Faux is a passionate and inspirational musician based in Bath who is known for his flamboyant and energetic choral directing. Having studied under Ralph Allwood and Roger Heaton, he has a range of conducting experience over a wide variety of styles including musicals, operas, choral and orchestral works. He currently directs his own award-winning chamber choir, Noctis, as well as conducting the principal choir at Bath Spa University.

In July 2012, he stepped down as the conductor of the Bath

Good Afternoon Choir after inspiring hundreds of people with his enthusiastic approach to community singing and in 2014, after a sellout performance of The Armed Man at Bath Abbey which raised over £2,500 for the Royal British Legion, he combined the choirs of Organum and Corsham Choral Society into the newly-formed Lucis.

He also works as a trustee for The Pound Arts, an organisation which promotes young talent in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and beyond.
