About

David Nason

Canon David Nason has recently retired from the role of Priest Vicar in Chichester Cathedral and that of Senior Master and Head of Classics in the Prebendal School, the Cathedral Choir School. He held these posts for 25 years and, during this time, could also be heard singing choral evensong on BBC Radio 3.

For more than ten years he also worked for a travel company as a ‘music host’ at the opera in Verona, lecturing to the guests and indulging in a personal passion for grand opera.

David still has an active ministry as Chaplain to the Festival Theatre in Chichester and is the London and South East Region Chaplain for the Royal Air Force Air Cadets. In retirement he finds himself busier than ever taking Sunday services in churches around Chichester and fulfilling many speaking and playing engagements on opera, music and musical theatre.
