We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Joanna Forbes L’Estrange for attending our Easter Concert to hear us perform her new work, A Season to Sing – a re-imagining of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Having Joanna in the audience and engaging in conversation with her was a truly wonderful experience.

After a well-deserved break, choir rehearsals commence on Friday 9th May at 7 pm in Barts-the-Less Church in preparation for our Opera Day taking place on Saturday 10th May of Verdi’s Il Trovadore, 2-5 pm at Holy Sepulchre Church on Holborn Viaduct.
