John Oliver

It appears there might be a mix-up with the provided information; John Oliver is best known for being a British-American comedian and television host, not a musician. However, it seems you are referring to John Oliver who is associated with music, likely the same John Oliver who is a conductor, particularly known for his work with choruses.

John Oliver was a distinguished figure in American choral music, celebrated for his exceptional work as the founder and long-time conductor of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, the official chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. During his tenure, which began with the chorus's inception in 1970 and spanned over four decades, Oliver prepared the chorus for performances under the baton of some of the world's most renowned conductors. His leadership and meticulous attention to vocal detail are captured in many acclaimed recordings, including performances of choral works by Mendelssohn and reflective compositions by Elliott Carter. After his retirement, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus continued to honor his legacy, as demonstrated in the release "Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus." In addition to his work with the chorus, Oliver was appreciated for his dynamic performances and recordings of broad-ranging repertoire, such as the expressive "Dreams Laid Down" and "With a Song In My Heart," both of which demonstrate his versatile musical influence. His contributions to choral music have left an indelible mark on the American classical landscape, influencing generations of singers and conductors.
