‘superbly polished vocal sound’

I have just spent a fun few weeks in Australia with the Choir of King’s College Cambridge. I am a very proud singing teacher and enjoyed seeing the enthusiastic response of Australian audiences>

Other reviews included……..
 bachtrack.com on Britten’s Hymn to St Cecilia
‘most impressive of all, perhaps, was the treble’s solo ‘O dear white children’ where the purity of sound made it particularly affecting’.

Limelight Magazine said of the Britten ‘The substantial treble solo was handled with a terrific sense of line and the radiant solos on “O weep child weep” and “wear your tribulation like a rose” showed a maturity of musical expression rare in such young singers’.

Thanks to MusicaViva for looking after us so well.

Later this month NMC will release a BBC recording of Judith Weir’s The Vanishing Bridegroom which I recorded with the BBC Singers/BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins. Small solos were taken by the BBC Singers, including myself.

I was pleased to conduct and sing in the south of France last week in some beautiful and ancient churches full of atmosphere and history. Wolfson Chamber Singers sang their hearts out and the local audiences loved them and the English repertoire we performed. I also enjoyed singing Durufle’s Pie Jesu in his homeland.

Congratulations to King’s Junior Voices for its recent performance of Mahler’s 3rd Symphony with the Cambridge Philharmonic.  Latest news is that we have received our first Cambridge Music Partnership grant in order for our older children to have a singing group of their own.

Do join us for our next concert on June 30th in King’s College Chapel.

It has been a fun month or so with some wonderful concerts. The highlight was singing in the Monteverdi Choir‘s 50th anniversary performance of The Monteverdi Vespers in King’s College Chapel alongside my choristers from the Choir of King’s College Cambridge.
