Deck that Hall! (Too early? 🥴)

I was recently asked to supply a picture for the Royal Choral Society and their performance of Vaughan Williams’s Oxford Elegy. I spent a year of my degree studies looking at his music in depth and it remains a source of great inspiration. Looks like a great concert!

Back to rehearsal tonight after our Easter break – Fauré Requiem & RVW 'An Oxford Elegy' for our concert Southbank Centre QEH Fri 10 May, 7.30pm.

Loving the perfect watercolour of Oxford's dreaming spires for our flyer by Ian Scott Massie: more art here ianscottmassie.com

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter!

Bursting with pride - a standing ovation and record ticket sales! My second family - the Royal Choral Society society ❤️

You were great and it was a wonderful afternoon. Thank you so much Royal Choral Society

Today marks 100 years since the passing of the remarkable composer Charles Villiers Stanford. His enduring contributions to classical music continue to inspire audiences worldwide. Let's take a moment to remember his legacy and the timeless beauty of his compositions 🎵

Thank you for having me back. Always such a special concert and the reaction from the audience was amazing. I met some after. Whole family from Sacramento on holiday loved it. Well done to the Royal Choral that was a special one today.

A wonderful afternoon of music making Royal Albert Hall for our 148th Good Friday #Messiah . Thx to our ‘A’ team of soloists Julia Doyle Madeleine Shaw Jamie MacDougall William Gaunt with Richard Cooke Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Richard Pearce. Thx to our amazing audience, packed to the rafters.

Just left the Royal Albert Hall after an amazing performance of #TheMessiah .
Royal Choral Society were amazing. The power of the music to reduce people to tears, (incl.the two female soloists), shows how important the arts are. The world is a better place for having that Oratorio in it
