Timothy Divine (né Peters) BMus (Hons) is a tenor, conductor and composer. In all these roles his main goal is to keep music accessible, exciting and original. He does this through frequent collaboration with relevant artists and constant research into direct and indirect influences that will enhance a musical experience.​

​

Timothy Divine is a conductor, composer and tenor based in Sheffield. He performs around the UK as an oratorio soloist and classical session singer, regularly working with Sony Music Masterworks company RG Live. Soloist performance highlights include appearances with San Francisco Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, British Sinfonietta, Northern Ballet Sinfonia, London Concert Orchestra and Ensemble Deva at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Barbican, Bridgewater Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall and The Sage Gateshead, as well as on broadcasts from BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 4.

 

Timothy records and tours extensively with Kantos Chamber Choir, and before returning north last year, he sang with the Chapels Royal choir at HM Tower of London.

 

As a music leader, Timothy is the vocal director of European Youth Summer Music. He has recently worked with Barnsley Youth Choir, celebrating international success representing Great Britain at the Canta al Mar International Choir Competition in Spain, winning both the Youth and Pop categories and achieving the highest score of the event (October, 2025). He is a member of Music Staff for the National Youth Choir, having previously been awarded a Fellowship during which he recorded Ben Nobuto’s Sol, which went on to win an Ivor Novello award (2023).

 

In Sheffield, Timothy is delighted to be assistant music director of Sheffield Oratorio Chorus and Steel City Choristers and continues to lead choral outreach for Grange Park Opera in the region. He also works at Sheffield Theatres as a vocal coach, and was recently being praised for preparing ‘knockout vocals’ and an ‘unbelievably effective’ ensemble sound, with a cappella choral work at the heart of the production of A Christmas Carol (reviews from Northern Arts Review, British Theatre Guide, and The Reviews Hub; 2025).

 

In January 2025, Timothy founded FaceNoise, a non-profit choral foundation, bringing collaborative, creative music-making to new singers and audiences in the region through a weekly community choir, workshop series, multi-day retreats and discovery weekends. His predominant current composition work sets choral retellings of Peak District folk stories inspired by Joe Winstanley’s FOLKS series.

 

In his spare time, Timothy enjoys getting out into nature – either through fell running or adventuring with his wife and border collie – using this opportune time to sample fine regional ales.
