It was such a privilege to be part of the first choral concert in the Esplanade Concert Hall since the pandemic began, and no better programme to begin with than with Bach! I realised that if I don’t write about these concerts I forget about them in the long run, so I’m attempting to beContinue reading “Morimur: Bach’s Secret Epitaph”

5 Dec 2018, 7.30pm, Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge   Had a FANTASTIC time last night. Things of note from the evening: (1) This Messiah includes some of the briskest tempi I’ve ever heard (let alone sung), which gave it an energy and clarity that I enjoyed. (2) The AAM sounded absolutely beautiful. It was suchContinue reading “Messiah with Voces8 / Apollo5 / Voces8 Scholars / Academy of Ancient Music”

Katie and I were interviewed at our final Genesis course a number of months ago and here’s the result – I had a FANTASTIC time throughout and if you’re a choral singer this is an exceptional opportunity! Harry and Eamonn are the loveliest people (and top-notch musicians of course), and we had really great guestContinue reading “Genesis Sixteen applications are open!”

It’s the final project with the St Martin’s Voices Fellows (8th of 8) – time really flies! We’ve had such varied experiences including the Greenbelt Festival, Beethoven Missa Solemnis with the Southbank Sinfonia, bread and butter gigs at St Martin-in-the-Fields, and now a short Scotland tour. It’s so sad to say goodbye to these guysContinue reading “Inverness + Aberdeen”
