Paul Miles-Kingston

In 1982, Paul Miles-Kingston won a choral scholarship into Winchester Cathedral Choir. While a chorister, he sang many solos in services, broadcasts and oratorios; he toured Western Canada with the choir in 1983, and sang with them at the BBC Proms. He won several prizes as a chorister for his solo singing and also for his musical contribution at The Pilgrims' School (the Winchester Cathedral Choir School).

Miles-Kingston achieved success as treble soloist in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem appearing with Sarah Brightman, Plácido Domingo and The Winchester Cathedral Choir at the world premiere in New York City and the British premiere in Westminster Abbey. Miles-Kingston was awarded a silver disc for the single, Pie Jesu, which reached number 3 in the charts, and also received gold and platinum discs for the album, which sold over 400,000 copies by 1985. In that same year, he sang twice at the Barbican Centre in London and also took part in a Gala Royal attended by Queen Elizabeth II in Edinburgh.

Miles-Kingston was Head Chorister of Winchester Cathedral from January to July 1985. At that time Martin Neary was Organist and Master of the Choristers.
